My 13 year old learned to make crepes on Father's Day this year. She loves to cook, the fancier the better and she came up with a fabulous crepe cake, layered with whipping cream, chocolate ganache and sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese. Wow. And topped with fresh blueberries. It was very impressive and super yum. If you want to try a "crepe cake" just cook up your batch of crepes and layer them up w/ the filling of your choice (chocolate, jam, pie filling, cooked fruit, etc) and top w/ sauce, frosting or powdered sugar. Or take my daughter's approach and try everything at once.
Yesterday for the 4th of July she made crepes for breakfast, with whipped cream, strawberries and blueberries, very cute red, white and blue theme. She had some left over batter this morning and came up with the best recipe ever: crepes + Hershey's bars! Our new favorite breakfast. Just cook your crepe, break up some chocolate bar on the cooked side when you flip it, and voila! Melty chocolatey goodness. You could add bananas too, if you want to get fruity.
B's trick for cooking crepes (reported to be tricky) - just keep trying. Try out different utensils for flipping. The right one makes all the difference. And remember, crumpled up crepes are pretty tasty too. I love it when something as simple as a crepe and chocolate can make a kid feel accomplished.
