Happy Crepe Day! February 2 is la Chandeleur in France. Follow this fun tradition: as your crepe is sizzling away, hold the pan in one hand and a coin in the other. Flip that puppy up in the air! Catch it in the pan, and your family will be prosperous for the year ahead! Miss? Well, clean up and try again.
Kids will enjoy these online activities about la Chandeleur from www.fete-enfants.com and from www.momes.net
Crepe recipes abound online. Check out this one from www.allrecipes.com. You don’t need a fancy pan, but be sure you get it nice and hot. Personally, I love my crepe maker from VillaWare. It’s easy to bring into the classroom to have a little immersion cooking fun!
And finally, here’s a FREE pdf French lesson about crepes that you can use in your French classes or at home. It’s great for beginners of all ages. Click to download:
