Strawberry Crepes
Thin, tender crepes filled with a simple homemade strawberry sauce make this recipe perfect for brunch, dessert, or anytime you want something a little special.
Ingredients
Crepes:
- 3 Eggs
- 1 ½ Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Cup water
- 2 Teaspoons sugar
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons melted butter
Strawberry sauce:
- 16 Ounces strawberries fresh or frozen
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- ¼ Cup Water
Optional Topping
Instructions
To make the crepes:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and flour until combined. Slowly add in water until the mixture is smooth.
- Add in sugar and salt and then mix in the melted butter. Whisk, ensuring that batter is as smooth as possible.
- Heat skillet over medium low heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Pour out a small amount of batter and spread it around with a wooden spoon or spatula. You want the crepes to be thin.
- Lightly cook on each side. The crepe is ready to flip when the top starts to cook (similar to a pancake), and a spatula can slide under the crepe easily.
To make the strawberry sauce:
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium until strawberries have softened. Cooking time will vary depending on type of strawberries used (fresh or frozen).
- When strawberries have softened, crush them with a wooden spoon or potato masher, and stir to combine with the sugar-water. As the sauce thickens, continue stirring occassionally.
- Turn to low and stir occassionally as you prepare the crepes.
Serving the Crepes
- Prepare crepes by folding them and serving with the strawberry sauce. You can spoon the sauce inside before folding, or serve it on top. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
