I impressed myself by making these. I've never made crepes before. I usually leave the fancy kind of cooking to my husband. He enjoys that kind of thing. They weren't as hard and turned out better than I thought. Overall I enjoyed the dish and think it would make a nice special breakfast or brunch item, not just a dessert. I do think I would like it more with a berry topping. As is, the texture, coloring and flavor of the filling and topping are too similar. Made for PAC Spring 2012. Thanks for the week of Austrian delights Eismeer.
