Description
A delightful dessert featuring thin crepes filled with a mixture of fresh berries and topped with powdered sugar, mint leaves, and optionally whipped cream or yogurt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Whipped cream or yogurt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and melted butter; whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, swirling it around to form a thin circle. Cook for 2 minutes or until the bottom is light brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Prepare the Berry Filling: In a bowl, combine the berries with sugar if desired. Let them sit for a few minutes to macerate.
- Assemble the Crepes: Place each crepe on a plate, spoon some berry filling onto one half, and fold the crepe over. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with mint leaves if using.
Notes
- Ensure the frying pan is hot before pouring the batter to prevent sticking.
- Let the batter rest to ensure tender crepes.
- Adjust the sweetness of the berries based on preference, or try adding a touch of vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
