My mom taught me this Classic French Crepe recipe. She was given this recipe from a French friend when she was in her 20’s, so I believe it’s quite authentic too. While growing up she frequently served these as dessert with an orange sauce topping the crepes. It was an alcohol free (and in my opinion better tasting) version of Crepe Suzette than I’ve had in any restaurant.
I’ve also enjoyed turning these Classic French Crepes into a savory entree, as well as a dessert. By filling these crepes with cheese, meat and vegetables; you will have a savory dinner entree that will satisfy any taste preference. Try my Four Cheese Crepes or Spinach and Ricotta Crepes for some savory dinner crepe options.
