Ingredients

1 1/2 cup whole milk OR half and half
2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp kosher sea salt

For the Topping

2 cup mixed berries fresh OR frozen
3 tbsp granulated sugar (1/4 c. if you prefer it on the sweeter side)
3 tbsp water
2 tsp lemon juice fresh
powdered sugar optional

For the Filling

1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In the jar of a blender, add the milk, melted butter, vanilla, eggs, flour, sugar, and salt. Blend on low until well combined, about 15 seconds. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
Just before the batter is ready to be used, in a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine the berries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Allow to simmer while the crepes are cooking. You can pour it through a mesh sieve if you prefer a seedless sauce.
Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat (or slightly higher). Stir the batter, then butter the pan.
Remove the pan from the heat, pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, and swirl in a circular motion to evenly coat the bottom of the pan with the batter.
Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the crepe and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
Repeat until all of the crepe batter has been used.
To prepare the whipped cream, in a large mixing bowl (with a hand mixer) or the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Roll or fold the crepes and fill with whipped cream. Top with berry sauce and powdered sugar, if desired.

Notes

-Don't have berries? Try fresh peaches with whipped cream or bananas and Nutella!

To STORE Crepes, stack them with wax paper between each layer. Place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag and store them in the fridge for up to two days. You can FREEZE them for up to two months.

To REHEAT, warm them in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat for about 1 minute per side, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until warmed through.
