French Crêpes
French Crpes
"Crêpes originate from the region of Brittany in the Northwest of France, their consumption is now spread nationwide leading to "Le Jour des Crêpes" translated to "The Day of the Crêpes" which is held on the 2nd of February. The tradition is that if you catch a crêpe in a frying pan after tossing it in the air with your right hand while also holding a gold coin in your left hand you will become rich that year."
NotesWe recommend having all your topping ready before you start to making your crêpes.

Nothing says scrumptious and romantic like French crepes, huh? I thin this is the perfect brunch idea to pair with some fresh fruit and maybe a couple of slices of bacon. You can afford to go a little overboard if you are doing a lot of hiking or having a fantastic vacation.
