Crepes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

Crepes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 t. salt
1 T. sugar (omit if making savory)
2 T. butter, melted
Filling:
1 cup strawberries, chopped
2 T. sugar
4 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk, stirring to combine. Add the salt, sugar, and butter; beat until smooth.
2. Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
3. Cook the crepe for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the bottom is lightly browned. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Serve hot. Makes 8-10 crepes.

For the filling: Combine strawberries and sugar and set aside. In a mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in strawberry mixture until well combined. Put about 1-2 Tbsp. of mixture in each crepe. Roll up and serve with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.



YUM-MY! This was my first time making crepes and I am hooked. I love they they are chewy and sweet. They're so pretty and fancy-looking, too! I am putting two links to crepe recipes that I used. I kinda combined the two.
