I have to admit I have always avoided making crepes.  They are so delicate and thin that they seem like they would be really fussy to try to make.  Turns out I was wrong about crepes. They are as easy to make as basic pancakes!

Crepes are a delightful treat to make when you want an extra special breakfast or brunch dish.  They are a really versatile.  You can fill them almost anything. Today I made a basic crepe recipe from my Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook and dressed them up with Nutella (a chocolate hazelnut spread usually sold in the peanut butter section of the grocery store), strawberries and sprinkle of powder sugar.  Talk about delicious!!

This is a great recipe to surprise your sweetheart with on Valentine’s Day morning.  You can make the crepes on Sunday and store them in the refrigerator until Tuesday morning.  Give the crepes a quick reheat in the microwave then add the nutella, strawberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar right before serving.  Voila!  Fancy special breakfast achieved!
