OMG, love crepes. I like chocolate crepes too. I remember really discovering crepes on a Carnival cruise year ago, where they had a midnight crepe buffet. I like the plain ones best, filled with cream cheese fruit filling. Let's see, if I was gonna make it, I'd beat cream cheese with some sugar, and beat in some fresh chopped strawberries, or ....oooh! Raspberries, maybe tossed in a little sugar and left to soften beforehand. Oh, yum. That sounds goooooood.

Crepes 1-2-3

Somewhere along the line, the simple crepe acquired a reputation for complexity that belies its street-kiosk origins. The trick is the right pan -- shallow, heavy, and with a well-tempered iron or nonstick surface -- along with some trial runs, and a flip of the wrist.
