La Chandeleur-Crêpe Day in France

So yesterday was La Chandeleur-Crêpe Day in France, and we took full advantage, who wouldn't? We made a variety of different fillings like wild mushrooms with baby spinach, and a blue cheese sauce, really mature manchego cheese, freshly whipped Chantilly cream and lets not leave out the ol faithful nutella, obviously not eaten all together.


So I thought I would share a great Crêpe recipe with you today so you can try and make yourselves some mouth watering food for dinner tonight

Ingredients

125g flour

2 eggs
120ml milk
120ml water
2g salt
30g melted butter

Method

Put the flour and salt into a large bowl. In the microwave melt the butter and add it to the milk and water, in a separate bowl beat the eggs and add it to the water and milk. Slowly add this to the flour mixture an whisk until the batter is smooth and has no lumps


Heat up a large non stick frying pan, lightly grease it with a little butter. Using a ladle, when the pan is hot, pour in some of the Crêpe mixture, lift the pan and turn it from side to side to let the mixture spread across the pan, and fry the Crêpe until it is golden, then flip the Crêpe and fry it on the other side until it is slightly golden. Repeat the process until you have finished all the batter.


Now as I said we filled our Crêpes with wild mushrooms and spinach, I also made a blue cheese sauce making a basil white sauce and adding in blue cheese. For our sweet Crêpes we had whipped cream and nutella, who doesn't like nutella


I guess all that's left to say is happy eating
