3 cups sliced strawberries
\n\u00bd cup sugar
\n1\u00bd cups all-purpose flour
\n1 Tbsp. sugar
\n\u00bd tsp. baking powder
\n\u00bd tsp. salt
\n2 cups milk
\n2 Tbsps. butter or margarine, melted
\n1 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel (zest)
\n2 Tbsps. fresh lemon juice
\n2 eggs
\nButter
\nIn a large bowl, toss strawberries and \u00bd cup sugar; let stand at room temperature at least 20 minutes.
\nLemon-cream filling:
\n2\/3 cup heavy whipping cream
\n1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
\n\u00bd cup sugar
\n1 Tbsp. finely shredded lemon zest
\nIn a small chilled bowl, beat whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff; set aside. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese on high speed until fluffy; stir in sugar and lemon peel. Gently fold whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to use.
\nCrepes:
\nIn a medium bowl, combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, butter, lemon peel, lemon juice, and eggs; beat until smooth. Lightly grease a 6- to 8-inch frying pan or crepe pan with butter; heat over medium heat until bubbly. Pour slightly less than \u00bc cup crepe batter into hot pan; swirling it until a thin layer of batter just covers bottom of pan. Cook crepe approximately 1 minute or until sides are light golden brown. Run wide spatula around edge of crepe to loosen; turn and cook other side approximately 30 seconds or until golden brown (the second side is spotty and is used as the inside of the rolled crepe). Repeat with remaining batter, adding additional butter to pan if needed. Stack crepes (browned side up) on a plate; let cool. NOTE: Use the crepes right away or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. To serve, spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of lemon-cream filling down the center of each crepe; fold sides over filling. Place 2 crepes on each individual plate.
