Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
For the Topping (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
- Extra fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend or whisk until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight to improve texture.
- Prepare the Berry Filling: While the batter rests, gently toss the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with lemon juice and sugar (if using) in a bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld and the berries release some natural juices.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly swirl it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spoon a generous portion of the mixed berry filling onto each crepe. Fold or roll the crepe carefully to enclose the filling. Optionally, top with whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, and additional fresh berries for an extra special touch.
- Serve: Serve the crepes immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy a delightful breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- These crepes can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- Frozen berries can be used as a substitute; thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing to prevent soggy crepes.
- Adjust sugar in the filling to taste depending on the sweetness of berries.
- For dairy-free options, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
