When it comes to brunch on the weekends I really like to make it special by cooking things that we don’t usually eat during the week.  Crepes are something that require a bit of time, so the weekend brunch is perfect to have fun with these in the kitchen.

Crepes are fantastic and can either be savoury or sweet. For this version I decided on a sweet crepe and just stepped it up a notch making them the perfect Mother’s Day treat.  Sparkling wine and flavoured whipped cream turned these strawberry crepes into a dish worthy to celebrate a special occasion.

This recipe is really simple and not really time consuming.  What makes it special is soaking the berries for a few hours in sparkling wine before you puree them.  You can choose any wine you like. For this recipe I used a sparkling strawberry wine called Fresita.

Start with soaking your berries at room temperature for a few hours in enough wine to cover them nicely.  Drain and puree with an immersion blender adding enough organic cane sugar to reach your desired sweetness.  Wash and slice additional berries to add to the crepes.

The batter is very similar to a thin pancake batter.  I like to make mine about an hour ahead of time and let it sit covered on the counter till ready to use.

If you don’t have a crepe pan you can use a shallow non stick fry pan.  I happen to love my crepe pan, makes me feel like I am in France!!  It does take some special care, but so worth it.

For the topping whip the cream, strawberry oil and 2 tbsp. of icing sugar and place in fridge till ready to use.

If you are familiar with LorAnn Oils you can appreciate how powerful a couple of drops can be.  To the whip cream I added 2-3 drops of the Strawberry Oil  just to bring out a subtle strawberry taste.

Heat your pan and be sure to give it a nice coating of butter each time you make a crepe.  Pour ⅓ cup of batter onto the pan, tilting to ensure it makes a nice thin layer.  Cook for a couple of minutes and flip (I use a flipper) to cook the other side.  I like to make all my crepes at once, they can be eaten hot or cold.  If you want to keep them warm, place them on a cookie sheet in a low temperature oven.

To assemble take a crepe and place some sliced berries and roll into a log.  Cover with your strawberry puree and whipped cream and garnish with a fresh berry.

    These look fantastic! I’m always afraid to make crepes because they are so delicate. I’m just going to have to bite the bullet if I want to bite into these crepes 🙂
