Ingredients

Simple Crepes
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 cups halved strawberries
2 tablespoons silver rum
3 tablespoons chilled heavy cream, whisked until slightly thickened, for serving

Steps:

Fold crepes in quarters. Heat in 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high, flipping once, until warm and crisp, 5 minutes; divide between 2 plates.
Return skillet to heat; melt 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in packed light-brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt; cook, swirling pan, until darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add halved strawberries; cook until tender, 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add silver rum.
To flambe, return skillet to medium-high heat. If using a gas burner, carefully tilt pan away from you to ignite; if using an electric burner, use a lit long match held just above the sauce. When flame subsides (5 to 10 seconds), spoon strawberries over crepes. Return skillet to medium-high heat and reduce sauce until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes; pour over crepes. Whisk heavy cream until thickened slightly. Drizzle over crepes; serve.

Tips:

To ensure the strawberries are evenly coated in sugar, toss them gently.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the strawberries from burning.
Keep the heat on medium-high to create a nice caramelization on the strawberries.
Do not overcrowd the pan, or the strawberries will not cook evenly.
Be careful when flambeing the strawberries, as the alcohol can easily catch fire.
Once the alcohol has burned off, immediately remove the pan from the heat to prevent the strawberries from overcooking.
Serve the strawberries flambé immediately, while they are still warm and juicy.
