Count David’s Delectably GREAT Crepes may be made with French Brandy, but they won’t get you intoxicated!  The alcohol of the Brandy cooks away leaving behind an incredible flavor that is unmatched by any other crepe, they are truly delicate and so tasty.  Whether you’re serving them cold filled with yogurt and fresh fruit or serving them hot with butter and maple syrup, they will always be an appreciated delectable treat.  You can let your imagination run wild with how to serve these delicious thin crepes.  I’ve had them with everything from ice cream to Belgian chocolate and each time I think it meets or beats the previous way I had them.  You can make a big batch and refrigerate them for a week, or freeze them for a future treat.  I think you’ll enjoy them as much as my family does and you’ll look forward to adding to the list of incredible ways to serve them.
