Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of icing sugar until pale and frothy. Gradually incorporate 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of milk while whisking vigorously to eliminate lumps. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Wash, hull, and slice 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Combine with 1/4 cup of strawberry glaze and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Toss gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, greasing it lightly with butter if necessary. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter and swirl to spread thinly. Cook for 1 to 1.25 minutes until edges lift, then flip and cook for another 45 seconds until lightly golden.
  4. Place one crepe on a plate, spoon in the strawberry filling, fold it, and top with whipped cream and powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
