I think many people shy away from crêpes because they think they are too complicated to make. That is the furthest thing from the truth. Crêpes are so incredibly simple to make that this recipe came from my Grade 8 Home Ec. class. If 13-year-old kids being forced to take a cooking class can make crêpes – so can you!
I love these because, on top of being simple, they are elegant looking, completely versatile, and sure to impress company. I typically wrap mine around a couple scoops of ice-cream, and top with some freshly sliced strawberries, chocolate ganache, and whipped cream. But you can go all kinds of crazy with crêpes: mousse, fruit, chopped nuts, any kind of sundae sauce, coconut, coulis….the possibilities are endless!
Tell me, how do you like your crêpes?
