Method:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, salt and sugar until smooth; the batter will be thick. Whisk in the water, oil and melted butter.
- Heat a 6-inch crêpe pan or nonstick skillet and rub with a little butter. Add 30 ml of the batter and tilt the skillet to distribute the batter evenly, pouring any excess batter back into the bowl. Cook over moderately high heat until the edges of the crêpe curl up and start to brown, around 45 seconds. Flip the crêpe and cook for 10 seconds longer, until a few brown spots appear on the bottom. Tap the crêpe out onto a baking sheet . Repeat with the remaining batter to make 12 crêpes, buttering the skillet a few times as necessary.
- Chop the fruits and keep it aside. Heat the pan and add butter and sauté cut fruits with a little sugar, till they get a little juicy and let the sauce thicken just a little bit.
- Stir together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract, then in another bowl, whip the cream until it’s nice and fluffy. Fold them together to make a nice fluffy mixture.
- Then take one crepe, spread the middle down with the cream cheese filling. Then add some berries over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Roll the crepes up, and top with glazed cherries, chopped mixed fruits and powdered sugar and serve.
