How To Make and Eat French Crepes
In France we all know and love Crepes and history tells us that the modern version of Crepes can be traced back as far as the 13th century somewhere in Brittany, so needless to say that a French cooking site without its French Crepes recipe would not be worth its name.
So I have been busy on my kitchen and made some Crepes just for you guys. However for something a bit different I have tried to create a comprehensive picture based step by step picture recipe on how to make, cook and eat real French crepes.
Enjoy….
