Here in France we celebrate Fete de la Chandeleur and it falls on 2nd February and I always celebrate Shrove Tuesday too (12th Feb this year) :)
I do like to observe the traditions, especially when they involve food... so here's the recipe :)
Crepes
It made 12-15 normal size pancakes
200g flour
50cl (500ml) milk
4 eggs
35g butter
1 tablespoon sugar & few drops vanilla
Melt butter (I put it in micro)
heat milk slightly (put it in micro)
Put flour into food mixer, add the eggs and sugar and vanilla. Then slowly add in the milk, mix for a minute on slow speed, add in the melted butter and mix again. Then sieve the mixture and leave for 2 hours.
Cook as normal...
And you will end up with light and fluffy Crepes, I think just a bit of Lemon juice squeezed over the top would be yummy, although here we have Nutella or even strawberry jam (don't knock it until you've tried it
Now you know what we're having for tea on Saturday :)

Sounds good enough to eat. Never heated the milk before I will try it.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThese look good!
ReplyDeleteYum - they look gorgeous. I am definitely trying out your recipe as my kids love think pancakes (er...and the thick ones too!) but I struggle to get them thin AND not-holey.
ReplyDeletevery mouth watering, naughty but nice, think I will have to pass due to weight gain over the last few months that does not seem to want to go away!
ReplyDeleteI live in France too, but a little further away lol my tip for making French crepes is to use lots of butter in the pa. if you get the pan hot and hold it on an angle while you pour the batter in it gives a nice thin crepe :) I still love thick, fluffy pancakes with olden syrup on occasion bough :)
ReplyDeleteI too like to join in any festivities that celebrate food - thanks for the recipe :-D The pancakes here are called msemmen - they are thick and crispy and don't really resemble crepe but they are super yummy and etaen for breakfast and tea. Mmmm.
ReplyDeletemmmmm - delicious!
ReplyDeleteJam on pancakes is lovely!
