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 Topping
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Make the Crepe Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a thin consistency suitable for crepes.
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, swirling immediately to coat the bottom evenly in a thin layer.
- First side cooking: Allow the crepe to cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift away from the skillet and the bottom becomes lightly golden.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to fully set and lightly brown the other side. Remove the crepe and place it on a plate.
- Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter, stacking the finished crepes as you go to keep them warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Crepes: Fill each crepe with a generous handful of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, spreading the berries evenly.
- Serve: Fold or roll the crepes and sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar just before serving for a delightful presentation and added sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is smooth with no lumps to prevent tearing during cooking.
- Keep cooked crepes warm by covering with foil or placing them in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results and minimal sticking.
- Fresh berries can be substituted or supplemented with other fruits like bananas or peaches.
- For sweeter crepes, increase the sugar in the batter by 1-2 tablespoons.
