Put away

Toast or crepe pan that doesn't stick should be heated over medium heat

Do it again with the rest of the batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate as you go

Put a crepe on a serving plate to start putting it together

Put some strawberries that have been mashed in the middle of the crepe, then fold it in half and again in half to make a triangle

Add some whipped cream to the top of the crepe and some mint leaves if you want

If you want, sprinkle with powdered sugar

Do this again with the rest of the crepes
