Strawberry Dessert Crepes

This certainly isn't your average crepe recipe. It's very light and very summery. It's a staple at Drayton Place in Mobile, Alabama.

Crepe Batter:

4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup salad oil
4 cups milk
1 cup soda water
4 eggs

Sift the flour and salt together; set aside. Blend the oil, milk, and water together. Beat the eggs and add to the liquid. Blend in the dry ingredients; beat until smooth in thin batter is formed. Ladle into crepe pan and cook until brown, flip and brown other side.

Filling:

Saute sliced strawberries with a splash of brandy in a saute pan (BE CAREFUL, brandy will flame.) Combine sour cream, powdered sugar and cinnamon to taste. Spread sour cream mixture on each crepe, top with strawberries and fold. Top with whipped cream.
