How to make filled crepes?
Small efforts, big effects. To impress your friends, we get our hands dirty by coming up with ideas for original toppings to serve filled crepes that are truly eye-catching. With pastry cream, frangipane, caramel or brocciu, there is something for everyone! On the plate too, we have fun with the different folds: if the triangle crepe seems to represent the favorite fold of the French* (up to 55%, notably by 71% of inhabitants of the North-West, undoubtedly because the sweet Breton crepe is historically eaten in a triangle), the rolled crepe is 42% the second favorite fold of the French, (and even more in the North-East of France, recalling in particular the model of the Picardy string), followed by the square crepe which would remain the prerogative of a restaurant tasting, with only 1% of French people eating it this way at home. Then, it is always possible to create a surprise by offering a crepe as a chaplain, filled with a savory filling for a starter or main course or in a sweet version.
