All About Crêpes



Though crepes aren't exactly baked goods, they're still a delicious (and easy) dish to make! I have to say, they're one of my favorite things to make. You just take eggs, milk, flour, and a bit of sugar and vanilla, let it sit for a bit, and then mix in melted butter and cook in a pan. But the best part is decorating it. I love to think up of new flavor combinations and ways to present them when I make crepes.Whenever I make crepes, I usually add my favorite filling (Nutella), but it's fun to experiment with new flavors, such as flavored creme, fresh fruit, and of course,  the traditional crepes suzette. Last week, I went through what some might call a crepe craze. All I wanted to do was make lots and lots of crepes and give them to people (and eat some of course). So, I made various types of crepes, using green tea fillings, nutella fillings, and fruit fillings, and I made sure to present them nicely. I started thinking that if I can present them well enough and work out a system of making them, I could actually sell them, if I wanted. Of course, I would have to keep track of the money it costs to make them (and time) and determine the price based on them, but it could be something I could actually sell. It was a nice feeling, feeling that I'm actually capable of doing something that I not only enjoy, but I could make a livelihood around.

  5. How do you pour the right amount so they don't turn into pancakes? I always mess up my first couple of ones...
    Anyway those crepes look delicious but how did you think of flavor combinations? Did you actually experiment with a whole bunch of different crepes and ways to make them? Also...why was I not a part of this taste testing?

  6. The way you describe it, it seems so easy. However, when I try, food gets burned. You already seem like an amazing cook/chef/baker, and i would definitely want to have food made by you... *hint hint cough cough*
