Crepes are a thin, sweet pancake invented in France. I feel like a Parisian whenever I eat this in the morning. I get the urge to get on my bicycle, and head to to local bakery to get myself a baguette. Ok, maybe not, but you get the point.
I subscribe to the idea that medicinal mushrooms are good for you, which is why I include them in my own diet. I cannot give you any health advice, but this is what I do for myself.
The refrigeration step help the gluten to develop within the batter. Crepes need this step to avoid tearing and falling apart.
Many of the steps in this recipe can be skipped if you blend until smooth using a blender.
For novices, this recipe might be intimidating, and you will probably make mistakes along the way. But don’t be discouraged, because this recipe doesn’t take long to master at all!
