Mother's Day Berry Crêpes

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.

   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.
