Recently I chatted with a childhood friend, Rosalie, and she commented on how her mother would make crepes for her and her sister for breakfast when they were children. It was a quick "on the run to catch the bus" breakfast, and the tradition has been carried on in their families.
Rosalie's family has ties to the Alsace Lorraine region of France which was once part of Germany. Thus, the crepes have continued to be a part of their family tradition.
Lina's Crepes
3 eggs
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
Put a pat of butter in a skillet, pour in a small amount of batter, swirl around, flip, brown the second side a little and then roll with sugar or fruit.
Yum...and the strawberries too. Double yum. Think I might try this recipe. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCrepes and strawberries...it doesn't get much better than that. Our berries don't ripen until the first of June. It's going to be a long wait.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with crêpes and anything. I use to made cêpes and freeze them with a wax papper between. Always had them ready for great meals; it's been a while.

I love crepes. I make the Hungarian version called palacsinta. They can be filled with jam (apricot or raspberry are the traditional ones) or a savory filling, the most often used is like chicken paprikas. One thing I have learned is important is to let the batter rest a few hours so the flour can thicken and you can add a little more liquid.

Oh, that looks so good. Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits. We once had a French exchange student, only 13 years, stay with us for a summer and he made crepes for us.

mouth watering! I like blintzes too. You did a great job these are gorgeous. You know these types of recipes are always simple in ingredients but it's the skill of the cook that makes that lovely presentation.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute pic of the Trout with Milk Dud.
I learned how to make crepes when we lived in Iceland. Even bought a special pan to make them. I was taught by my Icelandic landlady. I'll have to resurrect the pan as they look delicious.
ReplyDeleteHello my friend...checking in with my fav blogs... Thanks for your comment, we will enjoy and I'll have plenty of new photos to share of the desert.
ReplyDeleteBeen busy, and pulling over to Ridgecrest this Saturday. Can't wait for MT, looks like it's snowing over there today. LOL
Hey maybe you'll get to see Ed and Dustye too this summer, if they sell fast and buy Porter's Corner! I'm soooo excited to have them close. I'm praying for God's best for them and trying not to be too sad if the Lord has something different for them, hope not. Can't wait to see you guys again too, looking forward to more dinners, eh?
Hugs...Chrissy loo loo
Crepes for breakfast must be heavenly. Rosalie was lucky to have such a great cook for a mom.

I'm so glad yo posted this I've been telling my family I've been so hungry for these. I don't have a crepe pan but think I can improvise with my flat cast iron one.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying your blog, Susan and when I came across these crepes with strawberries, I got up from the computer, went to the kitchen and made some! I've never made crepes before and they were delicious! Thanks :)
