Ingredients (Serves 4):

For the Crepes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Berry Compote:

- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to whisk the crepe batter until it's smooth and lump-free.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the crepes to avoid sticking.
- To make the berry compote, use fresh or frozen berries of your choice.
- Adjust the sugar quantity in the compote according to the sweetness of the berries.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together eggnog, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and swirl it around to form a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. To make the berry compote, combine berries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries are soft and the sugar has dissolved.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and lemon juice. Add the mixture to the berry mixture and cook until the compote thickens.
7. To serve, place a crepe on a plate and spoon some berry compote on top. Fold the crepe and repeat with the remaining crepes and compote.
