Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for cooking crepes)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter and whisk it into the batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
In a cold mixing bowl, add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Beat using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Cover and store in the refrigerator until assembly.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the pan.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom turns golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process until all the batter is used, stacking crepes on a plate.
To assemble, take one crepe and place a dollop of whipped cream and a layer of sliced strawberries down the center. Fold the crepe over or roll it up.
Repeat with the remaining crepes, whipped cream, and strawberries.
Dust the finished crepes with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
