Instructions

Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups whole milk, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar. Blend until smooth and let batter rest for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 2 cups hulled and quartered fresh strawberries with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until strawberries break down and form a slightly thickened compote. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden, then flip and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 4: Serve crepes folded or rolled, filled with warm strawberry compote and dusted with powdered sugar.
