Many comment got deleted before it posted!
I tried your recipe and loved it despite having my own tried and tested recipe. I love that it makes a good batch – not too large. We had chocolate spread and sliced strawberries on our crepes – the girls did the fillings themselves and really enjoyed it!
Here is one of their crepes 🙂 i.imgur.com/9bqztJD.jpg

Hi! I just ran onto your blog and I love it! This post about crepes is great! I grew up eating crepes for dinner or breakfast at least once a week. They were quite the staple in our home. I enjoyed reading about how your mom would cook for you in your family. It is so similar to my experience growing up with a tired working mom who could whip up something delicious out of a fridge where us ignorant children only saw “nothing in the fridge to eat”. Isn’t that just how it is with kids?

Anyway, love the blog. Beautiful photography. 🙂
Swing on over to my little cooking blog if you so please.

My Grandma made crepes for us when we were growing up. We called them “rolled-ups”. She made them in two cast iron skillets so we had to eat really, really fast. She greased the pans with bacon grease. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but the way she cooked them still rates as the best I’ve ever tasted.

I loved this post. I’m not much of a meal planner myself, so I can relate very much to your cooking style.

Baby steps. I think it helps to start simple and build your confidence. From there you can expand your repertoire. You might enjoy the book, “The Flavor Bible”. I have yet to get my hands on a copy but in there they teach you which flavors go well together so that you can begin to cook as I’ve described.

Five kids?! Amazing. I’m still working on trying to convince my husband that we should have three even though I sometimes feel maxed out at two. 🙂 I am so glad that you too understand the simplicity and deliciousness of crepes.

Crepes are easy! I learned how to make them in France. Not long after I first made them, I was in the kitchen with several different women who were arguing over how much butter and how many eggs truly belonged in the crepes. I’ve found that no matter the recipe, I love them all. Sometimes I make sweeter ones with a little sugar and vanilla, but usually I make them plain so that I can add savory ingredients as well. I have to make a lot with 5 children, but they are so good! We usually eat them with several different toppings each time.

I cook and bake exactly the same way. I throw together meals based on whatever appeals to me at the grocery and I bake on a whim based on tried and true recipes, but tweaked to my standards. It’s perfect!

I wish I thought more like you, because I would probably enjoy cooking more. I have, however, enjoyed cooking *a little* more since we made our farmer’s market commitment. That *little* bit is huge for me! It was great having you here and help inspire us to take another step in the right direction. I love seeing your “thrown together” dinners, especially when they include local fare!

Lovely crepes – they’re so much easier than people think. We often whip up a batch after dinner and roll them with the traditional lemon juice and sugar, or maple syrup and cream, or sliced bananas with ice cream and honey or chocolate sauce. To be honest they are almost always eaten flipped out onto a plate in the kitchen and devoured on the spot.

We do have them savoury too – most sauce-type things work well – a favourite is a family recipe for prawn and cucumber curry. Sounds weird but tastes lovely!

Also – you can keep crepe mixture in the fridge for a few days, just give it a stir when you take it out. Sometimes it goes a little grey on top but tastes fine, and crepes are always best fresh out of the pan.

Oh, this makes me miss Paris! I cannot wait to try this recipe.
I found your site looking for more info on Storyville coffee. I have to say, I will be checking back in. It is beautiful, well written and makes me hungry! Besides, anyone who loves GOOD coffee is worthy of visiting more than once! (ps. did you know that in the month of May, Storyville is donating every penny spent at Storyville Coffee to the International Justice Mission? Makes me love them even more!)

Your family sounds a lot like mine was growing up! My mom never planned a thing and NEVER used a cookbook unless it was a holiday. The only thing is she stopped cooking altogether when we hit college age. 🙁

Anyway, LOVE this crepe recipe, it looks absolutely delicious. I am a bit intimidated by the thought of making crepes, but I think I might try it out!

Love your blog!

I adore buckwheat crepes filled with mushrooms, cheese and vegetables. We like to sit at the stove and eat them as they come out of the pan.
