This week, on February 2, it's Chandeleur. After the month of the galette des Rois, it's time to make crêpes. For the occasion, here's my recipe for crepe batter. I use it mainly for sweet crêpes (with strawberry jam, my favorite), but the recipe can also work for savory crêpes, although I prefer buckwheat crêpes for the latter.
Here's my family recipe for pancake batter!
Pancakes really are one of the easiest and quickest recipes to make. You can garnish them as you wish. Sweet: strawberry jam, chocolate spread, banana chocolate or simply powdered sugar. Savoury versions: ham, cheese, egg, goat's cheese, spinach... The only limit is your imagination, and good taste.
