Crepes with Strawberry Filling

Growing up my gran made weird pancakes. It wasn't until several years later that I went to a restaurant with a crepe bar that I realized that these were what my gran had been passing off as pancakes for years. Although I love pancakes, crepes are my favorite breakfast food.

In my recipes I will include regular measuring as well as grams/oz so if you weigh your food you know the calories are perfectly right!


Crepes: Makes 4 1/4 cup batter servings (I almost always burn one so I end up with 3)
1/2 cup (62 grams) Wheat enriched flour
1 (49 gram) egg
1/4 cup (2 oz) 1% Milk
1/4 cup (2 oz) Water
Pinch of salt
1 Tbs (12-14 grams) Salted sweet cream butter
2 tsp (3 grams) Raw Sugar

You don't have to use 1% or raw sugar, but my calorie count is only accurate for those particular ingredients.

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and use the whisk attachment of your mixer to completely blend without any lumps.
Use a 1/4 cup to pour batter into a skillet. I use a non-stick pan so I don't have to use any spray, oil, or butter adding calories.
Watch them very carefully, since they're thinner than pancakes they cook really fast. They should not brown more than very lightly on either side.

Each crepe is 103 calories (412 total)

Strawberry filling:
6-7 (111 grams) medium sized strawberries
1 Tbs (11 grams) Raw Sugar

Slice the strawberries into fourths (or smaller), combine with sugar and heat in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Use a fork or whisk to smash and mix together. Put on top of crepes (or pretty much anything else!)

Only 80 calories!

As a whole meal 492 calories

Enjoy!
