Instructions

1

Prepare the crepe batter

Pro tip: Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to ensure a smooth texture.

2

Cook the crepes

Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting to spread evenly. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to gently lift the edges when flipping.

3

Prepare the cream filling

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Pro tip: Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping for better results.

4

Assemble the crepes

Spread a generous spoonful of cream filling over each crepe. Fold the crepe into quarters or roll them up.

5

Prepare the strawberry topping

In a small bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with powdered sugar until well coated.

Pro tip: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavour.

6

Serve the crepes
