Crepes, Waffles & pancakes

Three desserts, with three very similar recipes, that make three very different, yet delicious! Derived from Belgium, waffles are very similar to pancakes in that they both use the same ingredients: flour, eggs, baking powder, sugar, and milk. The key difference is the increments, the cooking method, and the result. Waffles are crunchier than pancakes that thin, yet fluffy, round, and dense bread cake poured into a lump free batter that gets poured onto a med-high pan or griddle. Crepes are no exception. A french dish, it’s prime ingredients are identical to that of pancakes and waffles…that is except for one thing—baking powder. Without baking powder, there’s no rising agent, accounting for the thinness of a crepe. They also tend to be made with the less sugar, resulting in less of a sweet taste and of more of a subtle egg flavor. That’s one of the greatest things about crepes! Since they’re not abundantly sweet we stuff our crepes with Nutella, strawberries, kinder, kit-kat and more. Our crepes are always covered with our Belgium signature Chocolate on the top.
