Everyone loves a pancake and when it comes to crepes they are hard to resist. Perfecting a crepe recipe at home is easy with a couple of practices. Use this crepe recipe for an easy formula that will give you light and fluffy crepes with just a hint of crispness. Top with maple syrup, honey, lemon and sugar - or, if you want them to be a little more indulgent, with Nutella and bananas or hot chocolate sauce. Truly divine.

Ingredients

• 400g strawberries
• 400g raspberries or a combination of other red fruit
• 50g caster sugar
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Dash of port (optional)
• 2 eggs
• 200g flour
• 600ml milk
• 50g butter melted

Method

1. To make this crepe recipe, quarter the strawberries and place in a bowl with the other fruits, pour over the port (if using), lemon juice and caster sugar and leave to steep while you make the pancake batter.
2. In a large mixing bowl or food processor, sieve the flour and salt together, add the eggs, then the flour and milk and beat together with the melted butter for a min or so or until you ha ve a thick but easy to pour batter.
3. Warm up a plate in the oven to place the finished pancakes on and keep them warm. Remember to dust each pancake with a little caster sugar as you stack them to stop them from sticking to each other.
4. Melt a knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan and heat on a moderate flame. Using a little of the batter mix, test the temperature and your pancake flipping skills and modify accordingly.
5. When you're ready, use a ladle or small jug to pour out a little batter into the pan, and cook each pancake for about a min on each side. If you don't wish to flip each one, make slightly smaller ones and use a spatula to turn.
6. Fold the pancakes twice to make an open parcel. Fill 2 parcels with fruit per person, sprinkle over a little more fruit, and serve with ice cream and a dash of the fruit juices. Kelly's Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream goes perfectly with this fruit crepes recipe.
