Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¼ cups whole milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter, plus more for pan
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for cream)
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Fresh mint and powdered sugar to garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    Blend flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a blender until completely smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature — this relaxes the gluten and makes thinner crêpes.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crêpes

    Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter. Pour in ¼ cup batter, swirling immediately to coat the pan thinly. Cook for 60–90 seconds until edges lift, then flip and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining batter.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Berries

    If using strawberries, hull and slice them. Gently toss all berries with a teaspoon of sugar and a squeeze of lemon to enhance their flavor.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Plate

    Lay a crêpe flat, spread whipped cream over half, then fold in half and half again into a triangle. Arrange 3–4 on each plate. Top with berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh mint.

  6. 6

    Serve with Love

    Bring to someone special in bed with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Best enjoyed immediately while crêpes are still warm.
