Whisk the eggs and milk in a large bowl and slowly pour the melted butter in while continuing to whisk.
Whisk in the sugar, vanilla extract, and 8 tablespoons of flour until well combined.
Refridgerate for 30 minutes.
Remove 1/2 cup of batter into a separate bowl. Whisk 1 tablespoon of flour into the 1/2 cup of batter and add black food coloring until desired color is achieved. Pour this batter into a piping bag or Ziplock bag and cut a very small hole in one corner.
Add the water and matcha into the plain batter and whisk until smooth. Add additional water one tablespoon at a time until a thin pancake batter consistency is achieved.
Preheat a pan with a little cooking spray or butter over low-medium heat.
Working quickly, pipe a spider web pattern with the black batter and then pour 1/4 cup of matcha batter over the top. Swirl the batter into a thin pancake and allow to cook for 2-4 minutes or just until the edges begin the lift.
Flip the crepe and allow to cook for an additional 2-4 minutes or until very lightly golden on each side.
Continue with the rest of the batter until all is used up.
Making the filling
In a cold, dry bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Add the sugar and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Put in the fridge until ready for use.
Assembly
Take a crepe and put it face down on the plate.
Pipe or spoon the filling onto 1/4 of the crepe and add berries on top of the filling.
Fold the crepe into quarters and serve with powdered sugar, additional filling, berries, or syrup. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
These crepes can be made with any filling of your choice, sweet or savory!
