Ingredients
  

Crepe Batter
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free flour.
  • 2 large Eggs Use large eggs for the best results.
  • 1 cup Milk Can use any milk, including dairy-free options.
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
Filling
  • 2 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced Use ripe, juicy strawberries or swap for other berries.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Can use honey or maple syrup as alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Vanilla bean paste works if available.
  • 1 cup Whipped cream or cream cheese Alternative: use yogurt or other dairy-free options.

Method
 

Make the Batter
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and melted butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes to create a tender crepe.
Cook the Crepes
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  2. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, quickly swirling to coat the bottom.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip the Crepe
  1. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the Filling
  1. Slice the fresh strawberries and mix them with sugar and vanilla extract.
  2. If using cream cheese, whip it until smooth and combine with sugar and vanilla.
Fill the Crepes
  1. Take a crepe and spread a layer of whipped cream or cream cheese down the center.
  2. Top with sliced strawberries. Fold the crepe in half and then in half again.
Serve
  1. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Letting your batter rest improves the texture. Use a well-greased non-stick pan for best results. You can make a bunch of crepes in advance. Cool them before stacking to avoid sticking together.
