Transport yourself to a street stand in France with these light, airy crepes filled with sweet strawberries. Crepes are surprisingly easy to make once you master the flip. In fact, once you get the hang of it, make a double batch of these sweet treats and keep them on hand to layer with other fruits, chocolate, or a simple but authentically French filling of fresh squeezed lemon, a dab of butter and sprinkle of sugar. Not only for dessert, these crêpes make a terrific weekend brunch treat. If you omit the vanilla in the batter, you can fill them with savory stuffings such as ham, cheese, spinach or mushrooms, then roll up any leftovers for an enviable lunchbox meal.

Notes

These crêpes make a terrific not-too-sweet dessert. You can make them more substantial by filling each one with 2 tablespoons part-skim ricotta or goat cheese.
