My Grandmother’s Crepe Recipe
This crepe recipe is one that I’ve been making for years. The original recipe was in my grandmother’s recipe box. After she passed away, I received her recipe boxes and cookbooks. They were filled with so many recipes I remember eating as a child. My cousins and I talked at length about some of the foods we remembered her cooking; fried chicken, Christmas Lebkucken cookies, cabbage casserole, and so much more.
Every time I make one of her recipes now, I am reminded of her and what a great cook she was. Since this was one of hers, you know it’s been perfected over time and there’s a lot of love in there. You are in for a delicious sweet treat!
Easy to Make Crepes
The crepe batter is really easy to make in a blender, but it takes a bit of time (1 hour). Trust me when I say that it’s WELL worth it. You whip up this batter in a blender and then refrigerate for 1 hour. This resting time helps the batter thicken up and prevents the crepe from tearing apart when you flip it during cooking. If you are running short on time, you can make the batter ahead and it will hold in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
ALDI’s Organic Food = Everyday Low Prices
When it comes to grocery shopping, ALDI is where I shop for groceries most often. I LOVE that their everyday low prices save me money on healthy food for my family. I can buy all natural and organic foods I feel good about feeding them for much less than other stores. Plus their store brand products are ALWAYS free of certified synthetic colors, trans fats, and MSG.
Spices For Less
I have already mentioned how I love cooking with spices this time of year. ALDI has great prices on those too! As the holidays approach, ALDI will start carrying more baking spices as seasonal items. I’ll be able to stock up and bake my grandmother’s Lebkuchen and my mother’s spice bread recipes.
