Now that the holidays are over, and all the great leftovers have been recycled into time saving meals, and we are just tired of eating so much cookies...if any left, as for me, I'm just fresh out of ideas, so I lean on my "tried and true" and easy dishes, and
desserts. Crepes...or in
Hungarian, (
palacsinta)...in
Italian (crescpelle) in
English is actually the
American version of pancakes, which is totally a different type, but thicker, and is consumed for breakfast.
My family loves crepes, I have at least 3 types of
crepe pans, all three are only used to make crepes in. I have a 6
inch cast iron tortilla pan, which is so perfect to make the smaller size crepes, nicely
seasoned pan, easy to flip the crepes over, which is the best part. The second one is actually just for crepes as well, which is an 8 inch skillet. The third, which is the most popular, and "fail proof" is an 8 inch non stick skillet that is most advisable. I do have the actual recipe, which I personally think is the best that I can share with you!
I could barely set up these little
peanut butter&jam crepe pieces...within less than 5 minutes it was gone. I could barely take a picture of it, because my little grandchildren, and son-in-law just grabbed a piece. These paper thin crepes, and the peanut butter and jam not only satisfies, as a snack, but doubles as a dessert. The above presentation, is 2 pieces of crepes stacked, smooth and silky peanut butter is spread on it, and strawberry jam is spread on it. Folded in half, and into thirds, and sliced it in half, again. Just look at the thin, light as a feather crepes, you can just serve it with a fork, to cut a bite size piece.
Now, on to the recipe, and the $50. gift certificate giveaway from CSN!...isn't is marvelous?
