I put the batter together based on Peter's recipe and made an apple compote for the filling while the others went on a short sight-seeing trip and to a store to buy some calvados (apple brandy) for the sauce flambée.

That's Véronique Sanson singing in the background.

After dinner, Peter manned the pans and produced some terrific crêpes, then he heated up the calvados and lit it up! They were quite nice.
Walt, Those crêpes are mouthwatering! I love 'flambeed' food, especially crêpes, but I'm just to scared to prepare them myself. I'm always afraid that I'm going to set the house on fire! Martine
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have food en flambé. If you get a chance to go to Angers, stop off at the Cointreau musée. Neat information on local liquor.
ReplyDeletemartine, they were very good!
ReplyDeleterachael, that's a good tip - next time I'm in the area...
