Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar pearls

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a blender, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp melted butter, and 1 tbsp sugar. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter and swirl to coat. Pour in 1/4 cup of batter, tilting the pan to spread it thinly.

  3. 3

    Cook the crepe until the edges look dry and the bottom is golden, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes with parchment between them.

  4. 4

    In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. The cream should hold its shape when the whisk is lifted.

  5. 5

    Place one crepe on a plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the entire surface, leaving a small border at the edges.

  6. 6

    Roll the crepe tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining crepes and cream.

  7. 7

    Dust the rolled crepes with 2 tbsp sugar pearls just before serving. Slice in half diagonally if desired.
