Strawberry Crêpes

I found a lot of different crêpe recipes online and some used 6 eggs while others used 2, some used butter while others used olive oil, some used water and milk while others used milk, etc. etc. etc. 

After looking through the recipes, I made my own adaptation: 

Strawberry Crêpes
-makes 4 medium sized crêpes 
Crêpe:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 Tbsp butter (melted) 
1/2 vanilla extract 

Note: You can add 1 tsp sugar or salt to make the batter sweet or salty depending on if you want to make sweet or savory crêpes. Olive oil can also be used instead of butter to make olive oil crêpes. 

1. Blend all the ingredients together in a blender until smooth. 
2. Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto a non-stick pan and swirl the batter around to make a circle. 
3. Cook until the edges are cooked and bubbles form in the crêpe.
4. Flip and cook the other side until done. 

Filling: 
Strawberry jam 
Fresh strawberries, cut into bite-sized pieces

To assemble, spread the jam over the entire crêpe and add strawberries to half of the crêpe. Fold in half and in half again. Voilà! 


If you don't like strawberries, you can substitute other fruit or make savory crêpes instead.
