Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Whisk the flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl or large ceramic vessel until smooth, resembling a creamy batter. If you have time, let it rest for 30 minutes, or cook immediately.

2. 2

   Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and melt a piece of butter, spreading it across the surface. When the pan is hot and sizzling, pour half a ladle of batter and quickly spread it to cover the bottom. Fry for 1 minute on each side until golden, then keep the cooked crepes in a warm oven at low temperature while you make the others.

3. 3

   When ready to serve, fill each crepe with 1 tbsp of fruit cur or chocolate paste, then fold in half and then into quarters. Arrange them on a board or platter in a tree shape, decorate with banana slices and berries, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
