Ingredients
2 cups strawberries, frozen, sliced, and thawed, plus additional 3 cups of fresh
2 tbsp sugar
½ tsp orange zest, optional
2 tbsp butter
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
1½ cups all purpose flour
whipped cream, or ice cream
powdered sugar
chocolate syrup
sliced fruit pieces, (strawberries, fresh berries, bananas, kiwis)
Preparation
Using an immersion blender, gently puree thawed strawberries in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in sugar, orange zest if using, and fresh sliced strawberries.
Heat milk and butter in the microwave in a glass or plastic measuring cup or bowl or in a small saucepan, just until butter melts.
Add warmed milk and melted butter, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and salt to blender jar, cover and blend until smooth. Add flour and blend until smooth.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and strain out any lumps.
Heat an 8-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or cooking spray.
For each crepe, pour ¼ cup batter into the center of the skillet and immediately rotate the pan until the batter covers the bottom of the skillet in a thin layer.
Cook for approximately 1 minute until lightly brown and the top begins to dry out. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Repeat with remaining batter. Stack completed crepes on a plate.
Fill each crepe with strawberry filling and roll up. Serve topped with whipped cream. Enjoy!
