Strawberry season is HERE! It really.really is...which means berry fields in the morning, fresh strawberry jam, smoothies galore, strawberry shortcake, strawberry milkshakes, and the humble strawberry crepe!
This would be a fun dessert, don't you think? What about breakfast in bed? Not much more indulgent than
THAT...unless you were to scarf these babies down on the deck at twilight!
{mini} Rum Crepes with Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups 2% milk {The more fat, the better!}
1 Tbsp. rum or rum flavoring {vanilla paste or vanilla is also really great if rum is not an option}
3 large egg yolks
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
5 Tbsp. melted butter...I prefer unsalted, but salted is fine if that is what you have on hand
Directions:
*Blend all ingredients together in blender on high for 30 seconds.
*Scrape down sides of the blender and blend on high for 30 more seconds.
*Bring to room temperature before cooking.
*There are quite a few videos online if you need some helpful hints on how to make them.
*If you need to make these like NOW, simply heat a medium sized skillet to medium heat. Use a bit of oil and ladle desired amount onto hot skillet, flip and place on a warm plate. I use wax paper or parchment paper on top and draped with a tea towel to keep them warm. They can also be cooked up ahead of time and kept chilled until ready to warm and serve.
*Use a scalloped cookie cutter {available at Sur la Table} and cut out rounds.
*Dice up fresh strawberries into teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, pieces and coat with a bit o' sugar and fresh lemon juice.
*Fill mini crepes with berries and roll up a bit.
*Serve these sweet little rum crepes with a small dish of fluffy whipped cream.

Happy Strawberry Season!!!
