Tammie, “portable divinity” ? Wow, you should market that ! Taking crepes to the next level for sure !!

Andreea, thanks so much for divulging your secret ! Sparkling water in the batter, ooh I will definitely try that next time! And as you said, so many choices – that’s the fun of crepes – all the different fillings and how to eat them. Every single one is delicious!

Here’s a little secret of mine: to get rid of all the lumps in the composition just add a little sparkling water. As for myself, i just love crepes with peach/cherry jam, delicious… My sister loves it with cheese mixed with raisin and orange syrup over the top. My God! so many choices

I’m not going to make these, BUT IF I did, I’d want the salted butter and sugar. Then I’d roll them like we roll corn tortillas here by holding them flat in the palm of one hand and with the other hand rolling it away from you in a nice tight cylinder of portable divinity.

I let him nibble on mine, but I was very protective of it. I’m sure you can understand! His crepe wasn’t bad, per se… just different than what we were expecting!

FN, awesome photos of that Nutella/banana crepe – made me hungry for one for sure! Thanks for sharing.

Lani, I’m with you – butter and sugar. Plain and simple, but oooh so good! Rue de Buci is one my very favorite streets in Paris !!

Nicole, that’s funny about your husband’s alcoholic crepe ! So tell us, did he like it ?!! Or did he steal some of your Nutella crepe instead? (I would, ha ha!)

Aprille, thanks for the fabulous note. Your family’s crepe parties sound wonderful, and truly delicious. Peanut butter, bananas and homemade fruit syrups, wow! I am a fan of sandwiches with peanut butter, sliced bananas and honey – why I never thought of putting it all in a crepe, I don’t know! I’m sure to now, and with a fruit syrup, can’t wait. As for whole grain crepes — doesn’t sound sacrilege to me, just sounds delicious and wholesome!! Next time I’ll try making mine with whole wheat flour… Thanks!

Crepes are definitely part of my cooking repertoire! Both my daughter and husband loves them. With Nutella is good. But we also have our crepes with Haagen Dazs’ vanilla bean ice cream–sometimes with chocolate syrup. Other times, we put Swiss cheese–Gruyere (is it spelled with an s? I forgot your little lesson already…), Emmertaler, or Jarlsberg (I’m not even sure this is Swiss).
Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I found your site recently and have been adoring your photos immensely. I have a long love affair with crepes and it has turned into a very favorite meal of my families. My kids will eat piles of my husband’s crepes filled with peanut butter sliced bananas and drizzled with fresh fruit syrups we will make special for the occasion. We have also made them with a whole grain mix recently which may very well be sacrilege but I am wild like that. Cheers and thanks for the inspiration!

Ooh how I adore crepes. With Nutella! We were at a cafe for lunch in Cassis, Fr in May – I ordered my Nutella crepe, while my husband ordered the Grand Marnier crepe… expecting a crepe with some sort of glaze with most of the alcohol cooked out, we were slightly surprised to get a crepe drenched in Grand Marnier in the raw. Dessert with a buzzzz……!

My favorite crepes are just with butter and a bit of sugar. What a great treat! I truly love walking down the Rue de Buci and watch all those crepes being made. My favorite crepe was made right across from Les Editeurs on the left bank. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy the delight of eating a crepe and wandering around.

Good stuff!! Man, I read your post and actually thought about making these myself. Even if I had three wrists, I probably would screw it all up. Plus, I am soooooo lazy. Especially when they make em all around me with such ease and precision.

Funny, I’m American and I really do love the Nutella and banana. I took shots of one being made once:
