Steps:
- Place ingredients in blender container in order given.
- Blend 30 seconds,stop and stir down sides.
- Blend 30-60 seconds until smooth.
- Or, mix in bowl with wire whisk or mixer, first combining flour and eggs, adding liquid gradually. Beat until smooth; add other ingredients.
- NOTES : Batter can be used immediately. However, an hour or two standing will produce slightly more tender crepes.
- Or, refrigerate batter up to three days for use as needed.
- Measure flour and liquid carefully, since consistency of batter is important. (It should be about the consistency of thick heavy cream.).
- Spoon flour into 1 cup measure and level off with straight edge of knife or spatula.
- CREPES: Lightly grease. Measure about 1/4 cup batter into pan. Tilt pan to spread batter. Once crepe has lots of little bubbles, loosen any edges with spatula. Flip crepe over. This side cooks quickly. Slide crepe from pan to plate. Make all the crepes, stacking them as you go. no need to oil the pan again, after the first crepe.
- Once the crepes have cooled, trim them all to the same size. Make them about 6". Using a lid from a margarine container works great. When no one is looking, eat the scraps -- you worked hard for them, don't throw them out ;).
- Filling: Combine strawberries and granulated sugar in a bowl; stir well.
- Cover and chill 1 hour. Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl, and beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until blended. Add sour cream, beat until smooth.
- Spread 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture over half of each crepe, and top with 1/2 cup strawberry mixture. Sprinkle crepes with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

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 avoid scrambling around for things while you're cooking.
- Use ripe strawberries: The riper the strawberries, the sweeter and more flavorful your crepes will be. Look for strawberries that are bright red and have no green or white tips.
- Don't overfill the crepes: When you're filling the crepes, be careful not to overstuff them. Too much filling will make the crepes difficult to fold and eat.
- Cook the crepes over medium heat: Cooking the crepes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the crepes immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they're cooked. This will ensure that they're warm and fluffy.
