- Over medium heat, heat crepe pan or non-stick frying pan.
- When heated remove from heat and spray with cooking oil.
- Pour a 1/3 cup of the batter in the pan. Quickly lift pan and tilt and turn until batter evenly covers the bottom.
- Cook over medium heat for 30 - 45 seconds until the edges are dry enough to get a spatula under to flip.
- Cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.
- Should not be totally browned.
- Remove from pan onto a plate.
- Spray pan with cooking spray and repeat for the rest of the batter.
- Stack crepes with wax paper between so they can be easily separated.

Oh my were these babies good! The recipe for the crepe itself was very nice, I plan on using that as my new crepe recipe. Very easy to make and work with. I scaled the filing down to serve two people, but I wish I hadnt! Tonight I am going to try this with mangos instead of strawberries. Very good! Made for PAC 07!

WOW! These are soooooo delicious! I used all strawberries and sweetened them with Splenda instead of the brown sugar. Also sweetened the whipped cream a little and added some vanilla extract. I have some crepes frozen so that I can have these again soon. Thanks so much for posting this fabulous recipe.

<p>I live in Canada our winters are far to long and cold. I like to try new recipes. I don't really have a favorite cookbook. I enjoy reading fiction, my friends,good conversation,gardening,and the great outdoors. Love to travel, by plane, boat or automobile. My pet peeves are inconsiderate drivers who stop on a main road holding up traffic. <br />I'd really enjoy spending some time camping IN THE SUMMER by a beach or go the caribbean in the winter-- to the beach at one of the all inclusive clubs they always have a lot of different foods to try.. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1862985&c=5589268 border=0 alt=HTML Counter /></a><a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com>Dell</a> <a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com/dell-server.htm>Server Computers</a></p>
