Instructions
In a bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whisk wet ingredients together. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet. Chill for 1 hour. Strain, if necessary.
Add enough batter to a hot pan to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. Cook crepe for a minute or so or until the bottom of the crepe edges start to curl. Flip over and cook for about 30 seconds.
Remove each crepe and stack on a plate. Set aside until ready to fill.
Add all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until reduced about 3/4 of the way. Strain and then continue to reduce to a medium syrup.

Strain and then continue to reduce to a heavy syrup.
Place ingredients into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle and cream until homogenous. This can alternately be done with a hand mixer.
Saute strawberries in a small amount of rhubarb butter until slightly soft.

Lay 1 crepe browned side down and smear with a bit of rhubarb butter. Spoon some of the sauteed strawberries down the center and fold the crepe over so it overlaps slightly.

Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Champagne, Bordeaux, Moscato Dasti, White Burgundy
Cream Sherry, Port, and Champagne are my top picks for Crepes. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is Moet & Chandon White Star (). It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.

Moet & Chandon White Star ()
White Star is a softer champagne. It is well balanced and harmonious, with subtle aromas of warm toast and gingerbread. The finish is sustained with a hint of honey.
