Strawberry Crepe Rolls

Pancakes

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp beetroot powder (for the pink color)

Filling

  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Directions

  • Whisk all the pancake ingredients together until smooth, then strain the batter and let it rest about 30 minutes.
  • Lightly grease a non-stick pan and cook very thin pancakes over low heat, about 30-40 seconds per side. Keep the heat low so they stay soft and hold the pink color. Let them cool completely before filling.
  • Whip the cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  • Place a pancake smooth-side down, add some whipped cream, arrange sliced strawberries on top, add a little more whipped cream, then fold in the sides and roll into a neat rectangle.
  • Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
