My son was watching Pepa the pig. They were eating strawberry pancakes, with small strawberry pieces in it. He was so hungry with the thought of it he asked me out loud from the sofa to get him some. Background story: it is 06/2020, covid pandemic rendered us working from home with the kids confined to the tv watching system, it was almost lunch time and I was getting hungry for pancakes too. - "Are you crazy? I am working, where am I gonna find strawberry pancakes? They don't just grow on trees" - "Oh, ok." -was his disappointed answer but no fuss, no screams and not another word about it.
So latter before dinner as I was watching the fridge striving for an inspiration, tired of making rice, and pasta and potatoes and so on... I decided maybe I could actually make it an omelet... with flour... and milk... all very healthy options and then again that is called a crepe.
So we ended up having strawberry crepes for dinner and he was so happy I made them because he asked for them I made a precedent I am still paying for. Four days in a row he has been making requests and getting disappointed they aren't served as in a restaurant.
Anyhoo...
The crepes were delightful and I realized they worked much better that the original recipe if you don't want to lose time filling them with jam, in between frying them for a rotation of four hungry mouths, because they are wonderful on their very own.

Ingredients:
- 250gr flour
- 650 ml milk
- 6 eggs
- 8 tb. sp. sugar
- butter to fry
- 150gr fresh or frozen strawberries or blue berries or wild berries mix
First you want to boil the berries with 2 of the table spoons of sugar in low heat. Once you can get 100ml of juice out of it you can let it cool.
You can add as much juice as you remove of milk, in a 750ml 0 sum game, but I used about 100ml of the berries sauce and the rest I reserved as a topping for after frying the crepes.
Using a food processor mix all the remaining ingredients and you will have a pink or slightly purple soup (depending on the fruits you chose). Don't include the pieces of fruit or they will stick to the pan and burn.
Fry the crepes as thin layers of dough spread on the hot frying pan and then have fun:
as they are;
delight yourself with the remaining berries over the top;
or, the most decadent version of all, melt a few squares of dark chocolate bury the berries on the middle of the crepe and let the velvety brown liquid drool over the top of a twice folded crepe.
I can tell you my two-year-old seemed like a vampire gorging on the tips of her fingers turned red from all the sauce.
