Crepes are amazing. These paper-thin pancakes are fun to make, taste great, and always make whatís inside of them seem more special. And talk about versatile: they can be savory or sweet; plain or fancy; a first course, a main course, or a dessert. You can roll them, fold them, or layer them - and best of all, you can freeze them. Unlike their thicker breakfast cousins, these pancakes donít suffer from the cold. Once defrosted, crepes are once again pliable and delicious, ready to be rolled around your favorite filling.
