A little about this dish

La Chandeleur is a French holiday where it's traditional to make crêpes, symbolizing prosperity for the coming year. Our recipe features high-quality unbleached all-purpose flour, cage-free eggs, and a topping of fresh mixed berries for a pop of colour and a delightful sweet-tart balance.

Ingredients (for 4)

Unbleached all-purpose flour — 1 cup — sifted
Cage-free eggs — 2 — large
Whole milk — 1 1/2 cups
Granulated sugar — 1 tbsp for batter, additional 2 tbsp for berry compote
Unsalted butter — 3 tbsp — melted + additional for pan
Pure vanilla extract — 1 tsp
Mixed fresh berries — 2 cups — (such as blueberries, raspberries, and chopped strawberries)
Fresh lemon juice — 1 tbsp
Powdered sugar — — for dusting
Fresh mint — — for garnish

Preparation

Step 1 — 🥣🍚🥚

In a bowl, combine and blend the flour, eggs, milk, 1 tbsp sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 2 — 🍳🥞🔄

Heat a lightly buttered non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom is light brown, then flip it over to cook the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 3 — 🍓🍵🔥

Combine the mixed berries and remaining sugar in a pot. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the berries release their juices. Let it cook until it thickens slightly, then remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Step 4 — 🥞🍓🌿

Serve your crêpes stack-styled, meaning one on top of the other. Drizzle with the warm berry compote, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with a fresh sprig of mint to finish.

A final fox tip

As the crêpes cook, they can be layered on a plate and kept warm in an oven set to low. Get kids involved in the recipe by letting them help mix the batter or wash the berries. For an interesting variation, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter or topping the crêpes with a dollop of thick greek yoghurt.
