Strawberry Crepes

Ingredients and Weight:

• 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon (5 g) vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) salt
• 1 pint (450 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cornstarch
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) orange juice
• 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter for greasing the pan

Preparation Time:

30 minutes

Cooking Time:

20 minutes

Difficulty Level:

3 (Moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and milk until smooth.
2. Whisk in the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and orange juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Heat a lightly greased 10-inch (25 cm) pan over medium-low heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and tilt it around to evenly distribute the batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. Fill each crepe with a few spoonfuls of the strawberry filling. Roll up the crepes and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
