This Strawberry Crepe Recipe offers delicate, thin crepes filled with a fresh strawberry sauce, perfect for a delightful breakfast or dessert. The crepes are made from a smooth batter blended with milk, eggs, and flour, cooked on the stovetop to a light golden brown. The strawberry sauce can be served fresh or simmered for a thicker, jam-like consistency, making this dish both versatile and delicious.

Ingredients

Crepes

  • 2 cups milk (2%)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted (optional)

Strawberry Sauce

  • 1 pint strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend: In a blender, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and all-purpose flour. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds until the batter is smooth and homogenous. Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to ensure the crepes cook evenly.
  2. Cook Crepes: Lightly spray an 8-inch frying pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and immediately tilt and turn the pan from side to side to form a thin, even circle. Cook over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the crepes are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove each crepe and stack on a plate, keeping them warm.
  3. Prepare Strawberry Sauce (Cold Method): In a medium bowl, toss chopped strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Chill for at least 15 minutes until a syrup forms, enhancing the strawberry flavor for a fresh sauce.
  4. Prepare Strawberry Sauce (Jam-like Method – Optional): For a thicker filling, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, simmering gently for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Mash with a fork if desired, then allow to cool before using.
  5. Assemble: Fill each crepe with the prepared strawberry sauce, either fresh or thickened, and add additional toppings as desired to serve.

Notes

  • Chilling the batter helps achieve thin, tender crepes that cook evenly.
  • The strawberry sauce can be served fresh or cooked into a jam-like consistency depending on your preference.
  • Use a nonstick pan and keep the heat at medium-low to prevent crepes from burning.
  • Feel free to add whipped cream, powdered sugar, or chocolate sauce as additional toppings.
  • Crepes are best served immediately but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
