    List of Ingredients




    1-1/2 cups milk
    3 eggs
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
    1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons sugar
    Dash salt

    TOPPING:
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    3/4 cup water
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon strawberry extract
    1/4 teaspoon red food coloring, optional
    4 cups sliced fresh strawberries

    FILLING:
    1 cup heavy whipping cream
    1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
    2 cups confectioners' sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe



    In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs, butter and extract. Combine flour, sugar and salt; add to milk mixture and beat until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet. Stir batter; pour 2 tablespoons into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
    In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in water and lemon juice until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in extract and food coloring if desired. Cool. Add strawberries.
    In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream until stiff peaks form; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth; fold in whipped cream. Spoon 2 rounded tablespoons of filling down the center of each crepe; roll up. Top with strawberry topping. Yield: 22 crepes.
