\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the crepe batter<\/p>\n

3\/4 cups all-purpose flour
\n1\/2 tablespoon sugar
\n1\/4 teaspoon baking powder
\n1\/8 teaspoon salt
\n1 cup milk
\n1\/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n1 large eggs
\nbutter<\/p>\n

For the filling<\/p>\n

whipped cream
\nstrawberries
\ncherries (pits removed)<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/p>\n

1. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl<\/p>\n

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, extract, and egg together. Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and whisk together until smooth.<\/p>\n

3. Heat a small skillet\u00a0or crepe pan until medium hot. Melt a small amount of butter in the pan to make sure the pan is greased. Pour about a quarter cup or less of the batter into the preheated pan.* Immediately tip and rotate the skillet so that there is a thin coating of batter over the bottom of the pan. Cook until it is light-colored on one side. Turn over the crepe using a spatula to cook the second side. Remove the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat the process until you have finished with all the batter. You can stack the crepes between sheets of waxed paper. This recipe should make 6-8 crepes.<\/p>\n

4. cut strawberries into small slices and\/or cut the cherries into quarters.<\/p>\n

5. Add 2 tablespoons of whipped cream** to the center of the crepe. Add the strawberries or cherries or both! Fold the crepe like you would fold a burrito by folding in two sides then folding in one side tucking in the filling and roll to the other side.<\/p>\n

Cook’s Note:<\/p>\n

*The secret to cooking crepes successfully is to rotate the pan to spread the batter as soon as it hits the hot pan.
\n**For a homemade whipped cream recipe, see my nutella whipped cream<\/a> recipe except don’t add the nutella. However, this recipe would be very complementary with the nutella whipped cream as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
