Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Crepes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Lemon Cream Filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crepes:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine.
2. Add the salt and melted butter, and beat until smooth.
3. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe.
4. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
5. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter. Stack the finished crepes on a plate and cover with a cloth to keep warm.

2. Prepare the Lemon Cream Filling:

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken.
2. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks.
3. Transfer the lemon cream to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.

3. Assemble the Crepes:

1. Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Pipe a line of lemon cream down the center of the crepe.
2. Gently roll the crepe up and place it on a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

4. Garnish and Serve:

1. Dust the rolled crepes with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
2. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

These Lemon Cream Filled Crepes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
