  • Combine flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Beat using an electric mixer, adding more milk if needed, until smooth and thinner than a cake batter. Whisk in butter.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet. Pour a large ladleful of batter into the middle of the pan; swirl around skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until underside of crepe is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crepe; flip crepe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Lay crepes flat and coat with strawberries, yogurt, strawberry jam, honey, and cinnamon sugar. Roll crepes into logs and serve with whipped cream.
