Sunday mornings mean one thing in the Brosher household: crepes.

When I was growing up my dad would always make crepes for breakfast when I had friends sleep over. They became legendary among my peers.

We never topped ours with anything fancy. No nutella. No strawberries and cream. Just butter and powdered sugar. The warm crepes cause the two to melt together and form the most delicious glaze.

And you know what? They’re just as easy to whip up as pancakes. So keep those pjs on a little longer, pour yourself a cup of coffee (or a mimosa — definitely a mimosa) and become a crepe convert.

Bon appetite!
