Makes 8 crepes

INGREDIENTS

BATTER 

2 large eggs
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1⁄4 teaspoon salt 

SAUCE 

3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter
1⁄3 cup orange juice 
1 tablespoon orange liqueur
2 1⁄4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced 

HOW TO

To make batter, combine eggs, 3 tablespoons melted butter,
2 tablespoons sugar, flour, milk, vanilla, and salt in a blender; blend until smooth. Refrigerate. 

To make sauce, dissolve 3 tablespoons sugar in 3 tablespoons water in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter, and cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Add orange juice, stirring until smooth. Stir in orange liqueur, cooking until mixture reaches syrup consistency. Add strawberries, stirring gently to coat. Set aside. 

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a little butter and swirl to coat pan. Pour 1⁄4 cup batter into skillet. Tilt skillet around in a circular motion to evenly coat bottom of pan in a thin layer. (Thin batter, if necessary, with 1⁄4 cup water.) Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until edges curl slightly. Flip over and cook until lightly golden. 

If making ahead, slide crepes onto a plate and repeat, separating crepes with wax paper or parchment paper. To serve, fold crepes into quarters and top with warm strawberry sauce.
