Ingredients

For the Crepes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and kiwis), sliced

For Topping:

• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Crepe Batter:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
   • In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the Crepes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
   • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, swirling to spread evenly into a thin layer.
   • Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds.
   • Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate.
4. Assemble the Crepes:
   • Spread a spoonful of whipped cream over one side of each crepe.
   • Add a layer of sliced fruits over the cream.
   • Fold the crepes into quarters or roll them up, then place on a serving plate.
5. Serve:
   • Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with syrup or honey, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
