Crepes anyone?

Crepes filled with Nutella

Crepe with Creme de Maron

Thanks to Ansam who has been posting about crepes in Paris and taking me back to my youth, driving me nuts in fact! The memory of stopping near a creperie near my home after school and buying crepe au chocolat! I still remember the taste of it! I decided to make crepes this morning as a treat for the boyos and I. Fahad of course had his baith 6ema6 and irani bread (eggs with tomato) and wasn't interested in my crepes :( The crepes were filled with Nutella and one crepe with creme de Maron which was for me. The crepes were light, fluffy and delicious. They are my new obsession! ;p
