Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Pinch of salt
Filling and Topping
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and eggs until combined and smooth. Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to ensure a tender crepe texture.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour approximately half a cup of the batter into the center of the skillet, immediately swirling the pan to evenly coat the surface with a thin layer. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden. Flip the crepe carefully and cook for an additional minute on the other side. Remove and place on a plate to cool slightly.
- Prepare the filling: While the crepes are cooling, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Toss the sliced strawberries gently with powdered sugar if you prefer a sweeter filling. This will macerate the strawberries slightly, enhancing their flavor.
- Assemble the crepes: Place a cooked crepe on a serving plate. Add a generous amount of the sugared strawberries onto one half, then fold the crepe into quarters or roll it to enclose the filling. Dust the top with a little powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve: Serve the strawberry crepes warm. Optionally, add toppings such as whipped cream, syrup, or a drizzle of chocolate for extra indulgence. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Resting the batter helps create more tender and flexible crepes.
- Use a non-stick skillet and lightly grease it each time to prevent sticking.
- Adjust sugar quantity in strawberries according to their natural sweetness.
- These crepes can be made ahead and refrigerated, then gently reheated before serving.
- Try substituting whole milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
