Ingredients

 
4 eggs
 
2 tbsp granulated sugar 25 mL
 
1/2 tsp vanilla 2 mL
 
1 cup all-purpose flour 250 mL
 
1 cup milk 250 mL
 
2 tsp soft margarine, melted 10 mL
 
Berry Berry Salad:
 
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries 1L
 
1 cup fresh blueberries 250 mL
 
1 cup fresh raspberries 250 mL
 
1 10-oz/300 g package frozen raspberries, defrosted and drained 1
 
2 tbsp granulated sugar 25 mL
 
2 tbsp raspberry or orange liqueur, or raspberry or orange juice concentrate 25 mL
 
1/2 cup yogurt cheese (page 229) or thick yogurt 125 mL
 
2 tbsp brown sugar 25 mL
 
1/2 tsp vanilla 2 mL
 
2 tbsp sifted icing sugar 25 mL

Directions

In large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and vanilla.
Add flour and whisk until smooth.
Whisk in milk and melted margarine.
Mixture should be the consistency of buttermilk.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight.
Mixture should thicken a little.
To prepare berries, in large bowl, gently combine strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Puree frozen raspberries with granulated sugar and liqueur in food mill or in blender or food processor (strain through sieve if you wish to remove seeds).
Gently combine with fresh berries.
In small bowl, combine yogurt cheese with brown sugar and vanilla.
To cook crepes, brush 8-inch/20 cm or 9-inch/23 cm non stick skillet with a little oil.
Ladle about 1/2 cup/125 mL batter into skillet.
Swirl it around and pour back into bowl any batter that doesn't cling to pan.
(The longer batter stays in pan, the thicker crepes will be.) Place pan on heat and cook crepes until browned.
Flip gently and cook second side for a few seconds (the first side will always look the best and should be the "showy" side).
Cook remaining crepes (you should have about 12).
As crepes are ready, they can be stacked on top of each other.
To assemble, spoon about 1/2 cup/125 mL berries on each crepe and roll up.
Top with spoonful of yogurt cheese and dust with icing sugar.

Ashley M. says :

The yogurt cheese sounds like a tasty filling. Directions are well-done, and I like the reference to the "showy" side! Julia C. called it the "public" side!
