Off-to-High-School Crêpes

So, I guess back-to-school crêpes are a thing. At least in my house. And, it's no mystery why my kids think they live in a restaurant. Here was our conversation at Trader Joe's last night...

D: Since it's my first day of high school, may I request some food?

C: Sure.

D: I would like crêpes for breakfast.

R: - with fresh peaches and whipped cream!

D: Yes! With fresh peaches and whipped cream!!

R: And BLTs for lunch...I get to request, too, right?

D: And rack of lamb rubbed with Middle Eastern spices for dinner.

HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL!! And I was really tickled to see a comment from a high school friend that they make my recipe every week. She wrote, "Yep, all true. Even the dogs look forward to Crêpe Monday! I've shared your recipe with so many people because so easy and great." I love that! Thanks, Annie.

The crêpe part stays the same...mostly. I did add in a few more spices this time. The fillings change based on what I have...and what's requested.

Ingredients

1-1/2 C all-purpose flour
3 eggs
2 C organic whole milk
dash of ground cardamom
dash of ground ginger
dash of ground cardamom
dash of freshly ground nutmeg
butter, for cooking
For serving: unsweetened whipped cream, fresh sliced peaches, fresh golden raspberries, organic powdered sugar, lemon wedges, and cheese (for any savory lovers!)

Procedure
Whisk all of the ingredients together until lump-free. Let sit for at least 20 minutes. Heat a large flat-bottom pan and rub the bottom with butter. Pour the batter in the middle of the pan and quickly make a tilting motion to distribute the batter all over the pan. The goal: have as thin a batter layer as possible.

Cook until the crêpe is a bit stiff and flip over, cooking for another minute The pancake should be lightly browned on both sides. Repeat till all the batter is used; I made 10 crêpes with the quantities listed.

Let everyone assemble their own!

The Wom was a little nervous about heading off to high school. Look at that pouty lip!

I did eventually get a smile.

And they're off...finally at the same school again. I can't believe I have two high schoolers.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.
