Natasha’s Strawberry Basil Crepes

August 16, 2014 by Bekah 4 Comments

Happy Saturday!
My older sister, Natasha made these incredible crepes for us last weekend. They are literally the perfect way to start your Saturday morning! Sometimes we will go to our local farmer’s market and try the crepes they sell there, but those have nothing on Natasha’s strawberry basil crepes Γ  la mode.

The texture on these crepes is incredible. Add to the warm crepes some vanilla ice cream and the freshness of the strawberries and basil and you’ve got yourself a delicious way to start your morning. Or really any time of the day. πŸ˜‰
 Natasha’s Strawberry Basil Crepes with Ice Cream
Original recipe on Allrecipes
Makes 8 crepes


Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted 


1 cup sliced strawberries
2 TB sugar
1 large basil leaf, chopped

Vanilla ice cream for filling (Use your favorite brand, I like Breyer’s homemade or natural vanilla)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.


Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream and top with strawberries. 

To make strawberries, slice your berries into a small bowl and add the sugar and chopped basil. Mix and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
