French “Crêpes” by Paul Bocuse

What is a “Crêpe”? According to Wikipedia, “The history of crêpes dates back to 13th century Brittany, France. It seems a housewife there accidentally dribbled some thin porridge onto a hot, flat cooktop. Since people back then weren’t inclined to waste even their smallest cooking mistakes, she ate it. The rest, as they say, is history. “I must be French because I eat all my baking mistakes too” LOL

This recipe is my most Favorite one, it’s the one from late Chef Paul Bocuse (@paulbocuse_officiel). And yes, this recipe certainly has butter in it!

I hope your will Enjoy this Crêpe Recipe as much as I did! Bon Appétit!

"Crêpes" are anything but basic. They are buttery, creamy and it's an art to make them according to the one and only Chef Paul Bocuse.
