Add 1 egg and about 3 tablespoons of milk, add the small amount of liquid first and whisk to make a thick batter, making sure the flour and milk are well combined so lumps won't form easily.

Watch out

Never pour all the milk at once

otherwise, the flour will form countless small lumps that cannot be mixed smooth

Ingredients:Egg (1 piece)Milk (3 tbsp)

Tools:whisk

Active Cooking

00:01:34

Pour in the remaining milk while stirring, and finally add 10g of melted butter and mix well. This recipe is both Japanese and French style, the finished crepe is softer, and having such a thin batter is completely normal!

Watch out

Melted butter must not be too hot

otherwise, it will cook the eggs into scrambled bits when poured into the batter

Ingredients:Milkbutter (10 g)

Tools:whisk

Waiting Time

00:01:57

Place it in the refrigerator to rest for about 30 minutes; rested batter is easier to handle!

Watch out

The batter must be covered with plastic wrap before refrigerating

otherwise, the surface will dry out and form a skin

Tools:refrigerator

Preparation

00:02:02

Put 200g of strawberries, 0.5 tbsp of sugar, and 0.5 tbsp of honey into a ziplock bag.

lightbulb

Watch out

Strawberries must be thoroughly washed and dried after removing stems

otherwise, excess moisture will affect the jam's consistency and shelf life

Ingredients:strawberries (200 g)sugar (0.5 tbsp)honey (0.5 tbsp)

Tools:ziplock bag

Active Cooking

00:02:28

Seal the ziplock bag, make sure to squeeze out the air inside, and then mash it into a puree by hand! Do not mash it too finely, leaving some fruit chunks gives a better texture.

lightbulb

Watch out

The bag seal must be completely closed

otherwise, strawberry juice will squirt out from any gap and mess up the table during squeezing

warningStay safe

The heated pan surface is extremely hot; be careful not to touch the pan directly with your fingers when brushing butter.

Turn the pan to low heat and brush with a little butter. Drop a tiny bit of batter to check if the pan is hot enough; if it sets immediately, you can start frying.

Watch out

Butter must be brushed thinly and evenly

too much oil will cause the crepe surface to have fried spots and look uneven

Tools:frying panbrush

Active Cooking

00:03:39

The rested batter has settled, stir it first. Use a ladle to pour the batter in, swirling the pan while pouring to spread the batter evenly. Do not use too much batter, just enough to cover the bottom surface of the pan, and continue frying on low heat until the edges start to dry.

Watch out

Pouring the batter must be quick and decisive

otherwise, once the batter starts to set, it won't flow evenly across the pan bottom

warningStay safe

The pan rim is extremely hot during frying; do not let your fingers directly touch the hot rim when flipping to avoid burns.

Use a spatula to peel it from the edges, then flip it over! Careful! Don't get burned! Using tongs is also fine... After flipping, fry for about 30 seconds more and it's done.

Place it on paper towels to absorb excess oil and moisture, and continue frying the remaining batter.

Watch out

Cooked crepes must cool completely before stacking

otherwise, trapped heat will cause the crepes to stick together into a clump

Tools:paper towel

Active Cooking

00:04:26

Add an appropriate amount of yogurt in the middle of the crepe, proper amount of blueberries or favorite fruits, add proper amount of granola (adding fresh cream, custard sauce, etc. are all OK! It adds a crunchy texture, cornflakes are also good!), and wrap it up like a spring roll.

Watch out

Do not add too much yogurt and filling

otherwise, it will burst open and fail to hold shape when sealing the sides

warningStay safe

A sharp knife is needed to slice decorative strawberries; press your fingers firmly on the strawberry and concentrate on slicing to prevent cutting your fingers.

Spread jam on the plate, place the wrapped crepe in the middle, put sliced strawberries on top for decoration, and finally dust with icing sugar to finish!

lightbulb

Watch out

Dust icing sugar right before serving

if done too early, contact with moisture from the strawberry jam will cause it to dissolve and disappear quickly

Ingredients:strawberries (50 g)icing sugar (1 tbsp)
