Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Milk
- 1 1/2 cups
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons, melted (plus more for cooking)
- Fresh strawberries
- 2 cups, hulled and sliced
- Whipped cream
- 1 cup, lightly sweetened
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, which will result in tender crepes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of melted butter, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet and quickly swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Once all crepes are cooked, fill each one with a handful of sliced strawberries. Roll them up gently to enclose the filling.
- Top each crepe with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with additional sliced strawberries for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve immediately and immerse yourself in the delightful blend of flavors and textures!
Tips
- For a fun twist, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or orange zest to the batter for extra flavor.
- You can also substitute the strawberries with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or bananas for different variations.
- If you have leftover batter, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
