FollowCrepe Day
Yum. That is all I can say about Feb 2nd. It is known as Crepe Day. My mouth is watering already! If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know that I make a sweet dessert crepe to serve on Christmas morning. Crepes are quite different from pancakes, they are not as heavy but rather light and airy.
There are two different types of batters that one can put together to make crepes. The one that I use contains a tiny smidgon of sugar and is used to make a dessert type crepe. Thinking about breakfast right now and I do have all the stuff to make them… maybe I will.
The other kind of batter that you can make contains almost the same ingredients, minus the sugar. It is a batter that does not contain cinnamon or other flavorings that is sometimes used in cakes. This type of batter makes the same light and airy crepes with a slight difference in flavor. These are your basic brunch or dinner crepe and are filled with meat, seafood, and/or vegetables in a cream sauce. Chicken done in an Alfredo sauce is an example of what type of filling you would make to fill the dinner type of crepe. Scallops and shrimp cooked in a creamy sauce can also be put in this type of crepe. When serving them, drizzle the top with some additional cream sauce and grate up some fresh Parmesan or Mozarella cheese. Adorn with some fresh parsley!
Think I am starting to get hungry just thinking about them. I know that I did mention making crepes on another post of mine. Not sure if I included the recipe though. Crepes make a great treat for little ones. They are easy to make, and can be eaten without any filling whatsoever. They are a great way to get some protein.
Have I got you thinking about making some of them yet. Go ahead and make some for Crepe Day. I guarantee you that it will soon become a nice habit!
