Crepes aux fraises   serves 4-6  
   
Ingredients:
250g strawberries
25g icing sugar
125g plain flour
1 teaspoon caster sugar
pinch salt
4 tablespoons semi-skimmed milk
2 tablespoons sunflower margarine, melted
1 whole egg plus 1 yolk
2 tablespoons water
Tub low-fat creme fraiche
 
Method:
  1. Slice the strawberries and sweeten with icing sugar. Leave at room temperature while you make the crepes.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together and form a well in the centre of the bowl.
  3. Add eggs, water, milk and melted margarine and beat until smooth.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan and wipe with a piece of kitchen roll with a little vegetable oil or margarine. Add spoonfuls of the batter, swirling the pan to cover the whole pan very thinly.
  5. Cook until golden then turn and repeat. Keep crepes warm on a plate over hot water, separating with pieces of tinfoil to prevent sticking.
  6. When ready to serve, spoon some of the strawberry mix into each crepe with a little creme fraiche. Fold and serve, dredged with icing sugar if desired.
  7. For an extra-special treat return the filled and folded crepes to a frying pan, pour over a little brandy or cointreau and ignite for a summery take on crepes suzette.
