Today the French are celebrating La Chandeleur. According to Christian traditions crêpes (pancakes) were provided to the pilgrims who returned from Rome. According to pagan traditions the crêpe is a symbol for the sun and the return of Spring. As a Francophile I love a crêpe every now and then, so today a list of my favorite crêpes.
10. Crêpe Jus de Citron Frais
Just like the butter & sugar crêpe, but with an extra touch of lemon.
9. Crêpe Normande
Crêpe with sliced appled caramelized in Calvados liquer.
8. Crêpe au Miel
Crêpe with honey.
7. Crêpe la Martiniquaise
Crêpe with banana & coco, flambéed with rum.
6. Crêpe beurre sucre
The most traditional of them all. Just a crêpe with some butter & sugar.
5. Crêpe caramel beurre salé
This is the favorite of my girlfriend. Crêpe with salted caramel.
4. Crêpe fraise chantilly
Crêpe with fresh strawberries and whipped .
3. Crêpe Dame Blanche
Combining a crêpe with my favorite dessert. Winner!
2. Crêpe chocolat
Crêpe with chocolate sprinkles.
1. Crêpe Nutella
Crêpe Nutella. Every time when we go to a local market in France, I feel the urgent need to either grab a crêpe chocolat or a crêpe Nutella at the local crêperie foodtruck. Quality is always good and for around € 1,30 you have a very delicious treat.
