Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for cooking
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup whipped cream, optional
- Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the batter by whisking together flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in melted butter.
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes for a smoother texture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Allow the crepes to cool completely before filling.
- In a separate bowl, mix sliced strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar. Prepare whipped cream if using.
- Place a line of strawberries along one edge of a cooled crepe, add whipped cream if desired, and roll tightly around the filling.
- Cut the rolled crepes into 2-3 sections for easy serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Experiment with different fillings like mascarpone cheese or honey.
- Serve immediately after assembling for optimal texture and taste.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Thawed frozen strawberries can be used if fresh ones are unavailable, but drain excess moisture.
