Crepes with strawberries and cream are a delightful and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. These delicate, thin pancakes are filled with juicy strawberries and rich, flavorful cream, making them an indulgent yet simple delight. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you create these delicious crepes.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sugar. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flour to fully absorb the liquid and yields a more tender crepe.
- While the batter is resting, slice the strawberries and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and add the vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overbeat, as it can turn into butter. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick crepe pan or a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
- Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until lightly golden.
- Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray as needed.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the whipped cream down the center of each crepe.
- Top with a layer of sliced strawberries.
- Fold the crepe over the filling, or roll it up if preferred.
- Serve the crepes warm, optionally garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of leftover whipped cream.
- Enjoy your delightful crepes with strawberries and cream!
Tips:
- Tip 1: Make sure to sift the flour to avoid any lumps in your batter.
- Tip 2: Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the gluten relax and results in more tender crepes.
- Tip 3: Heat your pan to medium-high before pouring the batter; this ensures even cooking.
- Tip 4: Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned crepe pan. This makes flipping the crepes much easier.
- Tip 5: Pour a small amount of batter into the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom evenly for a thin crepe.
- Tip 6: Whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks for a light and fluffy texture.
- Tip 7: Slice the strawberries thin to ensure they fit well inside the crepe and distribute evenly.
