Hello everyone! The Holiday Season is in full swing, which means one thing. Delicious, fattening, sweet, glorious food! From cookies, to strudel, to old family recipes it’s truly the most wonderful time of the year. So I would like to share a favorite breakfast of mine that you could use as your next holiday treat.
Crepes are a deliciously thin food that can be presented in a plethora of ways. I love cooking them for friends and family, and the best part is seeing what people do with their breakfast. Below is a link to my favorite crepe recipe, and then I will explain a few tips to make them great.

A few tips for perfect crepes:
Use a non-stick pan.
Respray the pan with Pam before each new crepe you cook. Crepes should be able to slide around on the pan easily.
Never put the pan over medium heat.
If your crepe looks too puffy, flatten it with the spatula while still in the pan.
Place the crepes on top of aluminum foil to keep them warm and moist until it’s time to eat.
Once all the crepes have been cooked, it’s time to have a lot of fun. You can use toppings such as whipped cream, Nutella, honey, fruit, syrup, peanut butter, etc. My favorite crepes are Nutella crepes and honey crepes. You can keep the crepes flat, roll them, or fold them. For a little holiday flair, you could try Christmas sprinkles, or add a little peppermint extract to the batter.
I hope you all enjoy this new and delicious holiday treat. Stay safe everyone, and Merry Christmas!
