Crepes v Pancakes



I have often been asked to make some crepes for various village events. In the past I have always sidestepped this request and arrived with a cake or apple pie. The pressure to attempt to make one of the regional dishes has always been too great.

However, the time has come to master the crepe !.. I can make pancakes with ease, are they that different ?.

I buy a special crepe pan and then consult an elderly woman in the village who has the reputation of making the best crepes for miles !!. She kindly gives me the recipe and I am away, we have been eating crepes all week !!

Crepe Recipe

4 eggs
250g flour
