Breakfast or dessert? Any day is crepes day if you want to surprise someone special, like mom, sis, or loved ones. This is a favorite of mine, and I top mine with whipped cream or powdered sugar, or both; even ice cream or sour cream. Sometimes I will even use a fruit-flavored yogurt. These are sooo good. Hope you'll take time to surprise someone special.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fruity, fresh, fluffy, light, delicate, we could go on and on about these crepes. The texture of a thin pancake, the crepes are soft and tender. They're not too sweet, which makes them a nice balance to the sweet strawberry filling and powdered sugar. Perfect for a brunch, luncheon, special occasion dinner, breakfast, or dessert.
