Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Garnish
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Make the Crepe Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free from lumps, ensuring a silky texture.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the Batter: Ladle about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet. Quickly swirl the pan in a circular motion to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer.
- Cook the Crepe: Let the crepe cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift away from the skillet. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds on the other side. Then remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner, stacking cooked crepes on the plate.
- Assemble the Crepes: Take each crepe and fill it with a generous handful of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Serve: Dust the filled crepes with powdered sugar for a finishing touch and serve immediately.
Notes
- The batter can rest for 30 minutes before cooking to improve texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet to easily flip delicate crepes without tearing.
- Substitute fresh berries with frozen, thawed and drained if fresh are unavailable.
- Crepes can be made ahead and kept warm in a low oven wrapped with foil.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur to the batter.
