Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, and 1 1/4 cups whole milk until smooth and free of lumps; whisk in 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter and let batter rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter; pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center and tilt skillet to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer.
  3. Step 3: Cook each crêpe for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds; transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp granulated sugar with 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest.
  5. Step 5: To serve, sprinkle each warm crêpe generously with the lemon sugar mixture and top with 1/4 cup mixed fresh berries; fold or roll crêpes as preferred and enjoy immediately.
