Instructions
1. Make the Crepes
Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth. Let batter rest 20–30 minutes.
Heat a nonstick or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
Pour ~¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirl to coat. Cook ~1 minute. Flip and cook 20–30 seconds more.
Repeat with remaining batter.
2. Make the Compote
In a saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice (or salt).
Bring to a low simmer over low heat. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in vanilla at the end. Add cornstarch slurry if a thicker consistency is desired.
3. Make the Whipped Cream
Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to serve.
4. Assemble the Crepes
Spread whipped cream inside each crepe.
Fold or roll crepes and garnish with more compote and powdered sugar if desired.
Spoon warm berry compote over the top.
