Ingredients

Berry Compote

2 cups mixed berries strawberries, raspberries, blackberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar

Crepes

2 cups flour
1 ½ cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 eggs
4 oz beer
2 tablespoon butter softened

Topping

powdered sugar optional

Instructions

Make compote. Add berries, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small pot over medium/high heat and cook for about 10 minutes or until berries turn into a chunky syrup. Stir as needed to prevent sticking.
Make crepe batter. In a mixing bowl, stir together remaining ingredients to form a batter.
Cook crepes. Spray a large, flat pan with butter. Pour batter in and rotate pan to get batter to fill the pan in thin layer. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip.
Flip and cook for 30 seconds on the other side, then fold crêpe in half then in half again.
Remove with a spatula and place on plate.
Add toppings. Spoon the berry compote on top of the crêpes.
Add a pad of butter on top of berry compote.
Dress up the plate with a few fresh berries (if you have them) and powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Feel free to use any medley of berries. Reserve a few fresh pieces of fruit for garnish if desired.
Whipped cream can also be added as a topping.
