Crêpes
Crêpes are always a great recipe to have on hand for brunches or for those slightly more special mornings. Here’s my go-to crêpe recipe that I often make when I feel like enjoying a cozy crêpe breakfast with my family!What I love about this recipe is the hint of lemon zest—it adds a lovely touch to a fairly classic base. And if you don’t have any orange blossom water, you can substitute it with rum. I’ve tried it with rum before, and it’s also delicious.If you want to try orange blossom water, it’s available at the grocery store, and I’m also leaving a link here in case you prefer to order it online.This recipe yields about 6 to 8 crêpes.If you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator and reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds the next morning or the day after—no problem.
