Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Assorted fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry, apricot, blueberry)
- 0.5 cup Sliced fresh fruit (e.g., kiwi, strawberry, mango)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 1 Cooking spray (or additional butter for greasing pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then slowly whisk in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Stir in the melted unsalted butter to create a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Lightly grease a nonstick skillet with cooking spray or butter and heat over medium-low heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to crisp and the crepe loosens from the pan.
Flip the crepe carefully using a spatula and cook for another 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Once all the crepes are ready, lay one crepe on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of assorted fruit preserves over the crepe, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange small pieces of fresh fruit on top of the preserves to create a vibrant 'stained glass' effect.
Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up, depending on your preference. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
Dust the folded or rolled crepes with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for a beautiful, sweet treat.
