# Ingredients:

→ For the crepes

01 - 125g (1 cup) flour, spooned and leveled
02 - 3 large eggs
03 - 180ml (3/4 cup) milk
04 - 120ml (1/2 cup) sparkling water or still water/milk
05 - 2 tablespoons sugar
06 - 2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - A pinch of salt

→ For the filling

09 - 240ml (1 cup) cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
10 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 230g (8 ounces) fresh strawberries

→ For the strawberry sauce

13 - 230g (8 ounces) fresh strawberries
14 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or to taste)
15 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
16 - Zest grated from 1/2 lemon
17 - 1 teaspoon vanilla

# Instructions:

01 - Add all the ingredients for the crepes to a mixing bowl and blend using a hand mixer or immersion blender until smooth. If making the batter by hand, first whisk together eggs and flour, then whisk in all remaining ingredients. If the batter has small lumps, this is fine. Set aside the batter to rest while preparing the other components.
02 - Wash and slice the strawberries. In a mixing bowl, add the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
03 - Combine strawberries, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla in a food processor. Blend until very smooth.
04 - Brush a small amount of butter (about 1 teaspoon) onto a pan and heat it over medium-high or high heat. Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan while tilting and swirling to ensure even coverage. Cook for 30-60 seconds until the edges look dry and the bottom is golden brown. Loosen the edges with a spatula, flip, and cook for another 10-20 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
05 - Let the cooked crepes cool slightly. Spread a heaped tablespoon of whipped cream onto a crepe, add a few slices of strawberries, and fold or roll as desired. Serve with the strawberry sauce.

# Notes:

01 - For thicker whipped cream, you can add cream cheese to create a spreadable texture for the filling.
02 - Use the 'spoon and level' method to measure flour to ensure accuracy.
03 - Nutrition values are per serving and are estimates.
