Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g) sifted
  • 1 cup whole milk (240ml)
  • 0.5 cups water (120ml)
  • 2 large eggs (100g)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (45g) melted, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream (360ml) cold
  • 0.25 cups powdered sugar (30g), plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (5ml) or extract
  • 1.5 cups fresh red raspberries (180g)

Equipment

  • 1 10-inch Non-Stick Skillet Essential for easy flipping and achieving even, golden browning.
  • 1 High-Speed Blender Guarantees a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • 1 Fine-mesh sieve Used for an even dusting of powdered sugar.

Method
 

Making the Crepes
  1. In a blender, combine the milk, water, eggs, melted butter, flour, and a pinch of salt. Blend on medium-high for 20 seconds until smooth.
  2. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
  3. In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste until thick, stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until needed.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter into the pan, swirling immediately to coat the bottom.
  5. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lacy, golden browned edges appear. Flip and cook for 30 more seconds. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  6. Lay a cooled crepe flat. Dollop the thick vanilla whipped cream onto one half. Fold in half, then fold again to create a quartered shape with cream spilling out slightly.
  7. Top with fresh vibrant red raspberries and finish with a fine, even dusting of white powdered sugar.

Notes

Tip 1: The first crepe is usually a 'test' to gauge your pan's temperature. Adjust the heat as needed.
Tip 2: Make sure your heavy whipping cream is fridge-cold; otherwise, it won't hold stiff peaks.
