Smucker´s

These crepes have a French origin filled with romanticism and inaccuracies, as it is said that they were born from a mistake when preparing a dessert for King Edward VII, a little liquor spilled on the crepes, causing them to flambé and giving them a characteristic flavor. It is also believed that the origin is due to a cook's infatuation with a young woman named Suzette. To let you try these crepes and revive the taste of history in the kitchen, we present this recipe accompanied by Smucker’s®.

In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt, sugar, melted butter, milk, and brandy using a whisk until fully combined and a slightly thick consistency is achieved. Grease a non-stick skillet with a little butter, place it over medium-low heat, and pour a bit of the crepe mixture with the help of a ladle, tilting the skillet so that the batter spreads over the entire surface and cook the crepe for 2 minutes, or until the edges lift; flip and cook for one more minute. While still hot, fold the crepe into a triangle and set aside.
