I had a friend email me and ask if we have products to make crepes. I have no idea how to make them. Do we???
 
Does she mean the crepe shells or the fillings?

Crepe shells are simply flour, water, and eggs.

Then you can fill them with whatever you want.
 
and the small saute pan is great for making crepes... they turn out wonderful!
 
She may be referring to a crepe press ~ which we not do have.
 
My mom used to have this stupid crepe pan - it was an inverted pan, with the "bottom" of the pan at the top, curving slightly down. Really, all you need is a great saute pan, which we have, and your customers need not waste their money on something so silly.

Crepe fillings are really fun. Here's some good recipes to try.

Have fun!
