I adore crepes. I recently posted some myself, and a few people recommended mixing in the melted butter. It’s a great idea. I’ll have to try this recipe next time! C’est parfait!
oh wow, I wish I could make a crepe like that! Looks delicious!
I have yet to try JC’s crepe recipe, though thinking about it now, I’m wondering why it’s not one of the first I tried! I LOVE LOVE LOVE crepes, though always use the recipe I learned from my host mom when I lived in France. I never get sick of them. I’m definitely going to have to repent and try JC’s recipe now!
Let me know how they turn out, R!
Crepes are one of those magical things that will taste good no matter what you put on it. Those look especially gorgeous.
I’ve never tried her recipe for crêpes yet. I always use the same recipe. I should try for a change.
I love crepes! With a little lemon and sugar, or fresh berries. My friend made some delicious spinach and taleggio crepes the other day, and I was reminded that crepes don’t need to be sweet! Melted butter in the batter is the way to go.
This is the perfect recipe. Love it with cheese.
A simple crepe fromage brings me right back to the streets of Paris.
Delicious! My family absolutely adores them! Thanks so much, keep up the GREAT work!
