Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil, as needed for greasing the skillet

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling the pan to evenly coat the surface in a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift from the skillet, then carefully flip and cook for an additional minute until lightly golden. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
  4. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh blueberries, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated to create a creamy and fruity filling.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the cream cheese and blueberry mixture onto each crepe. Fold or roll the crepes as desired. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this delightful treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
  • For a thinner batter, you can add a little more milk to achieve your preferred crepe thickness.
  • If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen blueberries can be used; just thaw and drain them well before mixing into the filling.
  • To keep cooked crepes warm while making the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F/90°C).
  • Additional toppings such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream can be added for extra sweetness and presentation.
