Vegan Naleśniki (Polish Crepes) with Berry Compote

Instructions

1. 1In a blender, combine the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, with no lumps.
2. 2Heat a crepe pan or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. Lightly grease the pan with vegan butter as needed before each crepe.
3. 3Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot, greased pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle that covers the bottom of the pan.
4. 4Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes on the first side, until the edges start to look dry and slightly golden brown. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the second side, until it is also golden brown.
5. 5Slide the cooked crepe from the pan onto a plate. Repeat steps 3 through 5 with the remaining batter, adding more vegan butter to the pan as needed to prevent sticking. You should have about 8 crepes.
6. 6While the crepes are cooking or after they are done, combine the 2 cups of mixed berries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
7. 7Cook the berry mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. The berries will soften and release their juices, creating a syrupy compote. The compote is ready when it has thickened slightly.
8. 8To serve, place a spoonful of the berry compote onto the center of each crepe. Fold the crepes in half, then in half again to form a triangle, or roll them up. Serve immediately.
