Simple Raspberry crepes
Crepe Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- 3 tbsp. melted butter
- 5-6 drops red food coloring, (Add more if you like a darker pink or red crepe)
- 1-2 cups fresh raspberries, rinsed
Whipped Creme Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar (add more if you like it sweeter)
- 1 metal bowl, chilled (for mixing)
Directions
- Mix the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. In a separate larger bowl, mix the eggs, milk and melted butter. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add red food coloring and blend until pink.
- For best results, let the batter rest at least 1 hour (overnight is recommended).
- Spoon about 1/4 cup at a time onto hot crepe maker or griddle. Quickly spread batter as thinly and evenly as possible.
Directions for whipping cream:
- Add cream and powdered sugar to chilled metal bowl. Whisk vigorously until peaks remain stiff — about 3-5 minutes.
Assemble
- Fill each crepe with 3-4 heaping tablespoons of whipped cream. Add about 7-8 berries per crepe. Fold in quarters. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
