Notes
- Flour: While crepes are traditionally made with buckwheat flour, even the French may substitute white flour (usually white wheat flour) for sweet crepes like these.
- Strawberry glaze: When it comes to strawberry toppings and fillings, many restaurants use a store-bought strawberry glaze. It's bright red in color, perfectly sweet, and the easiest trick in the book.
- Yield: This recipe makes 8 (10-inch) crepes.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
