FOR THE COMPOTE:
12 whole Strawberries
3/4 cups Orange Juice
1/2 Tablespoons Orange Zest
1/3 cups Sugar
_____
FOR THE CREPES:
1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 pinch Salt
3/4 cups Milk

1
Compote:
2
Combine all ingredients for the compote and simmer at medium heat till the mix gets thick and syrupy, about 20 minutes. Take it off the heat and bring it to room temperature or just warm before serving with the crepes. This compote will store in the refrigerator for about a week. Use it as a dessert just by itself, topped with cream, ice cream or custard.
3
Crepes:
4
In a bowl, whisk the flour with the salt. Add the milk, egg, sugar, almond extract and 1/2 tablespoon of oil and whisk well until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
5
Heat an 8-inch skillet and rub it with an oiled paper towel. Add about 2.5 - 3 tablespoons of the crepe batter, swirling the pan to coat thinly and evenly; pour off any excess. Cook the crepe over moderate heat until the bottom is brown in spots and the sides are crisp and start to curl, about a couple of minutes. Flip the crepe over and cook for 1 minute longer.
6
Place the folded crepes on each plate. Top or stuff the crepes with fruit compote. Dust with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle almonds to top. Serve immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
