Ingredients
  

  • For the Crepes:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing pan)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • For the Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Strawberry Filling:
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • Optional Garnishes:
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Chocolate sauce or strawberry syrup
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter : In a blender, combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes — this helps the gluten relax, making softer crepes. (You can also mix by hand using a whisk, but a blender gives the smoothest texture.)
  • Step 2: Prepare the Strawberries : In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for 10 minutes to release their natural juices.
  • Step 3: Make the Whipped Cream : In a chilled bowl, beat the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Don’t overbeat — you want it light and fluffy.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Step 4: Cook the Crepes : Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling quickly to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook another 30–60 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes with parchment paper between each to prevent sticking.
  • Step 5: Assemble the Crepes : Lay a crepe flat on a plate. Spoon a few strawberries down the center and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Fold or roll the crepe, then top with extra whipped cream and more strawberries. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! : Serve immediately while the crepes are warm and the whipped cream is cool and fluffy.
