Paris is the Eiffel Tower. It’s also the Seine and the Louvre. And mimes and Breton stripes. And, finally, Paris is its crepes, the crowning glory of French cuisine.
This iconic French pancake is found on every street corner in Paris. One of my fondest memories of the City of Lights is standing by the Eiffel Tower, a coffee in one hand and a crepe in the other. Looking up at the iron behemoth that is synonymous with Paris, I remember licking streams of Nutella off my arm feeling tres parisienne. Whether they are dunked in Nutella, the way I like them, or wrapped round a sausage, crepes are a must try on every French holiday.
Make crepes like a Parisian with this easy recipe.
Here’s What You Need
• 1½ cups milk

• 1 cup flour (maida)
• 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar

Warm a skillet or tava to medium hot.
