Ingredients

For the Crepes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Butter (for cooking)

For the Filling and Topping:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
• Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest for 20 minutes to ensure tender crepes.

2. Make the Whipped Cream

• In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
• Cover and refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to use.

3. Cook the Crepes

• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter and let it melt.
• Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, swirling to create a thin, even layer.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter as needed, and stack the cooked crepes on a plate.

4. Assemble the Crepes

• Lay a crepe flat and spread a generous spoonful of whipped cream in the center.
• Add a handful of sliced strawberries, then fold or roll the crepe.
• Repeat for all crepes, serving them warm with a drizzle of whipped cream and extra strawberries on top.

Why These Crepes are a Delight

• Soft and Lacy Texture: These crepes are perfectly thin and delicate, with a hint of sweetness.
• Fresh Flavors: The combination of ripe strawberries and creamy filling creates a balanced burst of flavors in every bite.
• Simple Elegance: Whether you’re serving brunch or dessert, these crepes bring sophistication with minimal effort.

Pro Tips for Perfect Crepes

1. Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest improves its consistency and results in smoother crepes.
2. Control the Heat: Cook crepes over medium heat to prevent burning while achieving a golden finish.
3. Butter Your Pan: Use just enough butter to coat the skillet lightly, ensuring the crepes don’t stick.
4. Thin Batter, Smooth Crepes: If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.

Variations

1. Berry Medley Crepes: Substitute or mix strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a colorful twist.
2. Chocolate Lovers’ Delight: Drizzle melted chocolate over the filled crepes for extra indulgence.
3. Savory Spin: Skip the sugar in the batter and fill the crepes with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and dill for a savory treat.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair these crepes with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or herbal tea for a cozy breakfast.
• Add a dollop of ice cream for a dessert-style crepe.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness.
