French Crepe Recipe
I remember the first time I went to Paris, I made it a mission to stop and pick up a crepe from one of the street vendors. I didn’t care if I looked like an obvious tourist.

Pumpkin Crepes
Since I shared a recipe for pancakes this week, I thought it only fair to share a recipe for crepes as well, specifically pumpkin crepes.

Unlike pancakes, however, crepes tend to be extremely thin, which is immediately apparent just from looking at the runny batter.
