Cr\u00eapes are so traditionally French. And how delightfully delicious they are, too! I love their thin and elegant texture, so smooth and soft. And yet you can combine them with a thousand other ingredients. Whether you want savory cr\u00eapes with vegetables, meat or cheese or sweet cr\u00eapes with fruits, cream or ice cream, the possibilities are endless. Once you know how to make cr\u00eapes you\u2019ll love them even more. And it\u2019s also a favorite dish among children!<\/p>\n

As the strawberry season is not yet over I\u2019ve made some cr\u00eapes with strawberries today. I stewed the strawberries for 2 minutes and added elderflower syrup for some extra flavor. If you don\u2019t have elderberry syrup at hand, use some fruit juice and add an extra tablespoon of sugar.<\/p>\n

Right, let\u2019s start now. I\u2019ll show you how to make them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cr\u00eapes with Strawberries<\/h2>\n

Makes about 12 cr\u00eapes:<\/strong>
\n2 1\/3 cup flour, all-purpose (260g)
\n2 tablespoons sugar
\na pinch of salt
\nvanilla extract
\n2 \u00bc cups milk
\n2 eggs
\n2 tablespoons butter, melted
\nbutter for the pan<\/p>\n

For the strawberries:<\/strong>
\n1 pound fresh strawberries (500g)
\n2 tablespoons elderflower syrup (alternatively: fruit juice and 1 tablespoon sugar)
\n1\/2 lemon (juice)<\/p>\n

some double cream, mascarpone or yoghurt for serving<\/p>\n

For the cr\u00eapes, melt the butter on the stove or in the microwave. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Make a hollow in the middle. Whisk the milk, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl or in a measuring jar until well combined. Pour the milk and eggs into the hollow. Use an egg whisk and start whisking the milk-eggs-mixture very slowly, constantly stirring in more and more of the flour until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. Add the melted butter. Pour everything into a jar so that you can easily pour little doses of the batter into the pan for baking.<\/p>\n

Wash the strawberries, remove the green leaves, cut them into halves or quarters (depending on the size of the strawberries) and put them into a pan. Add the elderflower syrup and lemon juice. Bring to the boil and let it simmer for 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

Melt \u00bd teaspoon of butter in a non-stick frying pan. Spread the butter equally in the pan (maybe by using a heat-resistant brush). Pour some of the batter into the pan. While doing this rotate and swirl the pan slightly so that the batter can coat the whole bottom of the pan. Use only little batter, as you want to get thin cr\u00eapes. Bake the cr\u00eape over medium heat on one side until the bottom side gets golden brown. The cr\u00eape now loses its shine. Use a non-metal spatula to turn the cr\u00eape over. It is easier if you brush the spatula with some melted butter before using it to flip over the first cr\u00eape. Bake the cr\u00eape on the other side, too. This will take much less time (only about 30 seconds)! Now let the cr\u00eape slide onto a plate and fold it twice so that you get a \u201cquarter\u201d of a circle. Cover it with some foil to keep it warm. Make the other cr\u00eapes in the same way.<\/p>\n

Place 2 cr\u00eapes on a plate, and serve with a spoonful of strawberries and a spoonful of double cream, mascarpone or yoghurt on top.<\/p>\n
