One of the things I'm most notorious for is at 8pm at night, I decide I want dessert. I've given it no prior thought or concern up until that moment which usually is cause for, 'we have nothing sweet!' I scrounge around the kitchen and usually end up with something (or I dish myself a bit of yogurt and stir in some honey- I tell myself it's close enough to ice). But sometimes, I end up with crepes.
I love the rhythm of making crepes: pour, swirl, flip, repeat. There is something really awesome about watching something cook up as fast as a crepe. While my husband would say a crepe isn't complete without there being a scoop of ice cream and some sweet drizzle, I'm happy eat a crepe straight out of the pan with a drizzle of honey. This recipe is really less about the topping and more about the crepe base. Einkorn flour has really become a staple in my kitchen for it's lightness and good flavor (but using rye flour comes in as a close second.)
