I have mentioned previously that my family love crepes.
This is a bit of a 'fancier' version for my kids (as they usually just spread it with nutella or jam) and they love it like this.
Strawberries, nutella, crepes my kids are on cloud 9-seriously, the excitement on their faces, always make me smile.
I like to use sliced bananas also with the nutella, works really well.
You can go to my original posting for crepes as it gives a little extra information regarding crepe making. Give crepes a go, they aren't that hard, and just get easier and easier the more you make them.

Recipe
Recipe adapted from Margaret Fulton
Makes 10 crepes
160g plain flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
500ml milk
Canola cooking spray
Nutella
1 punnet strawberries, hulled, sliced
Icing sugar, for dusting
Make the pancakes: Place the eggs in a mixing bowl, add the flour. Add half of the milk; using a whisk, whisk until your mixture is lump free. Keep adding milk slowly until all the lumps have disappeared, then add remainder of milk, mix through. It is easier to get the lumps out, if the mixture is thick, so don't add all the milk in straight away.
Leave to stand for 30 minutes. Strain the mix through a sieve to make them completely lump free-I however never do, more cleaning up, and a few tiny lumps don't make a difference.
Once you have made crepes a few times, you won't even use a recipe, it is something that is done by feel- the consistency determines how much of what ingredient is needed.

Heat a 20cm non stick crepe pan (or frying pan) over medium-high heat. Spray the pan lightly with cooking spray. Using a ladle, pour 1/2-3/4 of a ladle full into the top edge of the pan, quickly tilt your pan around so the batter covers the entire pan. Keep swirling it around until the mixture stops running. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The sides of the crepe will start to colour and will lift away from the side of the pan so you can slide a long plastic icing spatula under the centre of crepe, that will help you flip the crepe. The crepe should be lightly coloured. Cook for a further 30 seconds, until lightly coloured. Repeat with oil spray and remaining batter.
For me the first crepe is your tester, it rarely turns out great, as the pan is usually not hot enough. It is where you see if your mixture is too thick, if yes, add more milk, if it is too thin, add more flour, if your pan wasn't hot enough it will now heat up. The batter is only supposed to cover the base of the pan, so if you had too much mix with 3/4 of a ladle full, use less, or more if it wasn't enough-you can't have holes in your crepes.

Now spread nutella over the entire crepe, as much as you like.
Place the sliced strawberries only on a quarter of the crepe, starting from the centre, going outwards, slightly overlapping each strawberry slice.
Now fold the bottom half of the crepe over the top half, fold again in half so it looks like the picture below. Dust with icing sugar, if you like.

This works great with bananas as well.
Enjoy!
