This is a favorite treat for us. Every time I start making them, people migrate to the kitchen. Maybe one of the reasons it's a favorite recipe is yes, the crepes are delicious, but it's also the memories of laughter, warmth, and togetherness that come with it. This is exactly the recipe that inspired the restaurant Heroes Wear Crepes in the short story, The Matchmaker' Catch. Bon appetit and happy reading!
