Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, eggs, butter, and sugar, stirring until ingredients are slightly mixed.
- Add the milk ½ cup (120 ml) at a time, stirring vigorously, making sure the milk is completely incorporated into the batter and that the batter is smooth before adding more milk.

CHOCOLATE FILLED CREPES COVERED WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, egg and milk together until smooth. The batter should be loose and light. Heat a small non-stick pan on medium high. Butter the pan lightly with 1/4 of the butter. Wipe out any excess. Pour the batter in the pan and swirl so that the batter coats the bottom part of the pan. When the crepe is golden on the bottom, turn over and a cook the other side until golden. Remove and let cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
- In a bowl, mix the cheese and cocoa together. Add a dash of milk to loosen, although you want the mixture thick. Spoon it into 3 crepes and roll them until closed. Place side by side on a serving plate.
- Heat a large saute pan on high heat. Toss in the remaining butter and then the strawberries. Cook them lightly and add Grand Marnier. Be cautious when doing this and stand back from the pan. Let the alcohol cook off and remove from the heat. Sprinkle in the sugar and toss until blended well. Spoon over the crepes and serve warm.
CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CREPES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, macerate strawberries, sugar, and orange liqueur for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Lay 1 crepe flat on serving plate and lightly spread 1 tablespoon chocolate spread, 1 tablespoon whipped topping, and 1/4 cup strawberry mixture. Roll crepe or fold in quarters. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Serve immediately with a dusting of cocoa powder.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process smoother.
- Use a Good Non-Stick Pan: A good non-stick pan will help you easily flip the crepes without them sticking. If you don't have a non-stick pan, you can grease a regular pan with butter or oil.
- Heat the Pan Properly: Make sure the pan is hot enough before you start cooking the crepes. If the pan is not hot enough, the crepes will not cook evenly.
- Pour the Batter Thinly: When you pour the batter into the pan, make sure to pour it thinly and evenly. This will help the crepes cook quickly and evenly.
- Flip the Crepes Carefully: When you flip the crepes, be careful not to tear them. Use a spatula to gently lift the crepe from the pan and flip it over.
- Serve the Crepes Immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can keep them warm in a low oven or on a warm plate.
Conclusion:
Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect crepes at home. The strawberry and chocolate sauce is a classic combination that pairs perfectly with the delicate flavor of the crepes. Whether you are serving them for a special occasion or just a casual meal, these crepes are sure to be a hit.
