Lovely photo! I love lemon and sugar on mine too. Or sometimes a berry jam of some sort.

Your way of eating crepes sounds very yummy! Ooh I would’ve loved growing up with these, I’ve only had them once and have never made them myself! :P I’m missing out. It was good hearin’ from ya, Christie :).

@Simon – Absolutely! I’m a bit of a soy milk connoisseur and 100% agree that bonsoy is the best soy milk around :)

While on soy milk, I’d be choosey about the one you use for it. I’ve found some soy milks had a weird aftertaste, which transfered across to the end product. Bonsoy worked for me but it’s the only soy milk I like. Whichever way you go, it’s just something to bear in mind.

Excuse me if this sounds like an infomercial. If you’re wondering, I don’t work for Bonsoy :)

@Leela – I love lemon and lime squeezed on fruit too – yum!
@Arwen – That was the plan, to make them healthier, I just had to stop myself eating more because of it ;)
@Ffichiban – NO! Although I always think that too ;)
@Katie – It takes a lot of practice, but once you’ve mastered it it’s like riding a bike – you never forget. It’s all in the wrist!
@Lorraine – Oh morello cherry jam – a fabulous idea!
@Peter G – Thanks! Means a lot coming from you because I absolutely adore your photos.
@Helen – Ah, I try. But I also eat at Bodeans. All in moderation, yeah?
@Sophie – thank you darling! Yum indeed.
@Lisa – Your pancakes look wonderful! I’m a fan of crepes, but could be swayed into your lovely thick version :)
@Helen – Oohhh banana/dulce de luche is a beautiful combination.
@PigPig – Why is that? Has someone been indulging? :)
@Jennifer – They are simple but oh so comforting.
@Simon – I almost used soy milk. Will definitely give it a go next time. Thanks for the tip. And yes that’s St Dalfour jam in the background – no cane sugar at all! Just fruit and concentrated fruit juice. Delicious.

The crepes look really nice. I’ve gone down the healthier path on occasion using a good soy milk as a substitute.

Also, nice selection of jam. So much better than most of the other ones you’ll find in the supermaket aisle.

Yum!

My boyfriend and I made crepes for a dozen people just recently (I made the batter; he did the flipping). We offered 3 differently toppings: chocolate/cherry, banana/dulce de luche and orange liquer/zest. People loved them!

I made a healthier pancake this year too. Mine were the thick kind but I like your thought to make a wholemeal crepe. I always think of crepes as too delicate to mess with, but it looks like you’ve done a beautiful update!

Simple & pure deliciousness!!!!MMMM…

I never thought to try them with wholemeal flour, they look good though! You certainly are health conscious, but that’s obviously a good thing! Good on ya.

That’s very health conscious of yo Christie…I like sugar and lemon on mine as well. These are beautiful pics too!

Wholemeal pancakes! I’ve never tried these but I’m willing to give these a go. And don’t worry it’s still Pancake Day in some countries! :P Lemon sugar pancakes are my favourite along with Morello Cherry jam pancakes. Yum!

Ricotta and sultana filling sounds lovely. Good on you for using wholemeal flour, it’s nice to have a healthy side to your sweets.

I have never had crepes with raw sugar a squeeze of fresh lemon before, but I think I am going to like it. After all, I like a squeeze of lemon on everything, especially fresh tropical fruits (it’s a Thai thing …). Will have to try it. Thanks, Christie.
