Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk (for Creme Anglaise)
- 4 Egg yolks
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for Creme Anglaise)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean or vanilla extract
- 2 cups Strawberries (for sauce, hulled and chopped)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the crepes.
Whisk in the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the skillet and swirl to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift easily, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter and set the crepes aside.
To make the Creme Anglaise, heat the milk and cream in a saucepan until just simmering. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and thick.
Slowly pour the heated milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in vanilla extract and strain into a clean bowl to cool.
For the strawberry sauce, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries break down, about 10 minutes. Blend until smooth and strain for a silky sauce, if desired.
To assemble, fill each crepe with a mixture of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Fold or roll the crepes and place on serving plates.
Drizzle the crepes with the strawberry sauce and spoon over the Creme Anglaise. Garnish with additional fresh berries, if desired, and serve immediately.
