Nutella Crepe
Crepe, a type of a very thin pancake considered as the national dish of France, originated from a region in the northwest France named Brittany. The name is derived from the Latin crispa aka creases meaning curled. February 2 is celebrated as ‘the day of crepes’. Crepes can be both sweet and savory. The sweet crepes are made of wheat flour, eggs, milk, butter and a bit of salt which can be served as dessert or as breakfast complimenting coffee. Usually these include Nutella spread, different kinds of syrup, honey, ice-cream, nuts, melted chocolate, sliced fruits like banana, strawberry and even at times chocolate powder and chocolate chips depending on what you order. The savory crepe is made of non-wheat flour which can be served as lunch or dinner or even snack. It usually has cheese, eggs, mushrooms and chicken as fillings. The fillings are placed on the middle of the crepe and the edges are folded over the center.
Nutella Crepe in the making
Coming back to Uncle Sam’s now, they serve both sweet and savory crepes as well as waffles. I was tempted to taste the sweet one so placed an order for the Nutella Crepe. It was delicious and indulgent. By now they serve many varieties of crepes. If you have not tried it yet, kindly do and make your tummies happy.
