Mom's French Pancakes

This weeks Sweet Melissa recipe was a hit at our house.
I can honestly say my kids have probably never eaten crepes before and they loved them.
As some of these recipes are huge , I thought about halving it
but am so glad that I didn't because they were eaten before I finished cooking.
They were very easy and used things I had on hand.
They say the trick is in the swirling the batter in the pan to get them just right
I would agree that this was true.


I wanted some whipped cream to put in them, I thought if they were bad at least my girls would eat that. I was on the phone to call my husband to pick some up from the store and remembered that I still had some heavy whipping cream in the fridge, so with the Sweet Melissa Recipe I made some and it was the perfect addition.


I also used the blackberry freezer jam that I just made last week.It was perfect but you could have used anything with fruit , heck , she even suggested Ice cream.

Sprinkled with Powder sugar....


Delicious!

I had a LOT of trouble getting that swirling motion down! But yours looks great. I'm glad your family loved their first crepe experience!

Your crepes look delicious! Getting the "swirl" down was definitely the hardest part. But the not so pretty ones taste just as good as the pretty ones, right? I will definitely be making these again.

Beautiful! Love the blackberry jam filling.

I have never made or eaten crepes, so I'm sure I would need some practice with the "swirl" as well. Yours look great!
