The goal is not to brown the crepe but to cook it just enough to fl ip. 3.

Transfer the crepe to a large plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Once the crepes are cooked, they can be stacked and wrapped in plastic wrap for future use. 4.

The fi lling may be covered in plastic and refrigerated up to one day before serving. 5. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Lay a crepe out on a clean surface, cooked-side down. Put 2 table- spoons of the fi lling in the center and smooth it out with the back of a spoon. Fold the crepe in half and then half again into a quarter. Repeat the fi lling and folding process with the remaining crepes and fi lling. Set the folded crepes on a cookie sheet and keep warm in the oven. 6. For the sauce: Heat a large sauté pan over high heat until warm. Add the sugar and straw- berries and cook until the sugar starts to caramelize, about 5 min- utes.

Once the fl ames die out, stir in the butter. 7. To serve, arrange 3 crepes on each of 6 dessert plates and spoon some strawberry sauce over the crepes.
