French Fridays with Dorie: (butter and rum) crêpes

This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe was butter and rum crêpes (p 411) which Mr Neil will be surprised to read, since his crêpes contained neither butter, nor rum I made the executive decision, that at the end of a long weekend that had included snowshoeing around a vineyard and tasting wine as well as eating lamington-cream puffs, that we didn’t really need buttery, alcoholic crêpes

So, I made crêpes. And really I don’t think anyone can complain when they are served a plate of crêpes sprinkled with a little sugar and citrus zest, right? I was most curious to try Dorie’s recipe (it’s got a little zest in the actual batter) as a good crêpe batter recipe is hard to find. I’m pleased to report that this one was a winner AND it made the exact amount the recipe specified (of course I halved it – 5 crêpes is plenty for 2 people!). Even sans proper crêpe pan, these came out lovely and thin, I was pretty pleased. And actually, good to know – we didn’t eat these right away (gotta get them photographed in the daylight though!) and they were not bad re-heated for a few minutes wrapped in foil in a hot oven. So, a week of great discoveries!
