Equipment

  • Frying Pan size is 10 inches

Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 can evaporated milk 390 grams or slightly over 1⅓ cups
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 cup water room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs

Fillings and Toppings

  • Strawberries
  • Bananas
  • Cream cheese
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Powdered sugar

For Cooking

  • Butter

Yield: 11–12 crepes

Instructions

Prepare the Soda Water

  • In a small bowl, combine the room temperature water and baking soda.
  • Stir until completely dissolved and set aside.

Make the Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Add the evaporated milk, eggs, and the prepared soda water. Mix thoroughly using a balloon whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the batter through a strainer to remove any lumps. The batter should be thin and pourable. If it feels too thick, the finished product will resemble pancakes rather than crepes.

Chill the Batter

  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. The batter will become slightly thicker after resting, which is perfectly normal.

Cook the Crepes

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with a small amount of butter.
  • Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan so the batter spreads into a thin circle.
  • Cook until the edges begin turning light brown and release from the pan. Flip carefully and cook the opposite side for a few seconds until done.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.

Assemble the Crepes

  • Spread cream cheese evenly over each crepe.
  • Add sliced bananas and strawberries.
  • Fold or roll the crepe according to your preference.
  • Top with additional bananas and strawberries, drizzle generously with chocolate syrup, and dust with powdered sugar.
  • Serve immediately while soft and fresh. Enjoy for breakfast, merienda, dessert, or whenever you're craving something sweet.
