One of our more popular recipes is Red Velvet Crepes. And they are amazing. But then I realized we don’t have a basic crepe recipe. This recipe is my go to for crepes. It always has been since I was a kid even. There is something about a warm thin crepe filled with berries and whipped cream that just delights me.  So if you are looking for a breakfast treat for your sweetie this Valentine’s Day you should give Crepes a try.  Either the basic crepe or the Red Velvet Crepes.  You just can’t go wrong with either one.
