Ingredients

125 g fresh strawberries halved hulled
62 1/2 g fresh blueberries
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup water
2 tsp cornflour

Crepes

1/2 cup plain flour
1 tbs caster sugar
20 g butter melted
1 tsp lemon rind grated optional
2 egg
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 oil spray

Method

Step 1

Berry sauce: Place the berries, vanilla, sugar and water in saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a low heat and cook for 3 or 4 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2

Thoroughly mix cornflour into 1 tablespoon water to make a paste, and stir into the berry sauce. Simmer and stir continually until it thickens, cover and remove from heat.
Step 3

Crepes: Sift flour into a bowl and stir in sugar.
Step 4

Combine butter, lemon rind eggs, and evaporated milk in a jug. Whisk into flour and stir until smooth.
Step 5

Grease an omelette pan with melted butter, and place over a medium heat.
Step 6

Pour in ¼ cup of batter and tilt pan so it makes a thin disc. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook other side until golden.
Step 7

Remove from pan and transfer to a low oven to keep warm, while remaining crepes are cooked.
Step 8

Serve crepes rolled or folded, add the berry sauce and 2 scoops of vanilla ice-cream.
