This weeks Instagram Food Photos series features the delicious crepe!
Originating in the northwest of France crepes are now eaten all over the country including the rest of the world. Simple to make with the ingredients just being flour, eggs, milk butter and a pinch of salt. Often the trick is making it thin enough and flipping it over. Eaten either as a dessert (sweet) and sometimes as a meal (savory) this thin pancake like deliciousness can be eaten with a variety of toppings. My favorite is the straight up “original” crepe with cinnamon and sugar.
How do you like yours? Do you have a favorite crêperie?

Cake crepe.
Also known as a “mille crepe”, (mille meaning thousand in french), this fantastic looking cake is obviously made from many crepes stacked on top of one another.

Fancy enough / messy enough sometimes you just need to eat your crepe with a knife and fork.
