About

There is a great crêperie stand in Hampstead near where I live and they make the most amazing crêpes with all sorts of wonderful ingredients and toppings. They inspired me to make my own and this is my favorite fruity crêpes recipe. Of course, it would be just as good if you substituted melted chocolate for the heavy cream.

Method

Sift the flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the eggs then the milk and oil. Beat well and then let the batter stand for 30 minutes.
Heat a pan over high heat, add a pat of butter, ladle a portion of the batter in the pan and swirl around. Lift one side of the crêpe and if it is golden brown then flip it over to brown on the other side.
