Whether you're celebrating Candlemas or enjoying Mardi Gras, there's one thing everyone agrees on: it’s all about indulging in crêpes. Now that you know the story behind the tradition, it’s time to get into the kitchen. Can you already smell that delicious sweet aroma wafting through your home on February 2nd?
While some of you prefer to rely on the crêperies of Paris to prepare these little golden wonders, other gourmands rush behind the stoves, mouths agape and whisk in hand, to prepare a mountain of crêpes themselves to delight the whole family, roommates, friends or the one they've chosen.
But first, you need to master the perfect crêpe recipe! Should you stick to classic wheat flour or try something more inventive? And what about adding a splash of alcohol to give the batter a little extra depth?
To help you create unforgettable crepes for the lucky ones who will taste them, several Parisian female and male chefs have shared their recipes with us. We're happy to pass them along to you. Classic crepes, chocolate-filled crepes... there's something for everyone. So, get out your apron and let's get cooking!
