Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and fine sea salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Heat a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook 1-2 minutes until edges start to lift and bottom is golden, then flip and cook another 30 seconds. Transfer cooked crêpe to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crêpes with parchment paper in between.
  6. To make the mixed berry compote, place the mixed berries, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release juices, about 8-10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. To serve, spoon the warm mixed berry compote onto each crêpe, fold or roll, and garnish with additional fresh berries if desired.

Tips

  • For smooth crêpe batter, let it rest 10-15 minutes before cooking to relax the gluten and avoid breakage.
  • Using pure vanilla extract in both batter and compote deepens the flavor and adds warmth to the berries.
