We have a small strawberry patch in our garden. So small that it's not really a patch at all, more like a few strawberry plants in mismatched pots on a small deck to the side of our place. We don't get an abundance of berries, but enough that we can eat one or two a day or if we wait, enough to have with breakfast on the weekend. That works as I've been thinking of breakfast a lot lately. We have
new maple syrup over in the shop (something we're pretty excited about!) so I've been fitting it into cooking and baking whenever I can. From that came the idea of these sweet crêpes with strawberries and maple syrup. I'm sort of a traditionalist when it comes to sweet crêpes, but I like that this recipe has beer, something I hadn't tried before. The result is really nice texture and a pretty sort of lacy feel (
you can see it well in this photo). And they're simple to make. I found that 1/3 of a cup of mix worked well when cooked on an 11" cast crêpe pan. If you don't have one, I recommend
this one. On the crêpes in the photo, I topped with fresh cut strawberries, a little sour cream and a generous pour of maple syrup. You should try it, it's so delicious. xo, N
