3. Crepe Suzette

Crepes are much like pancakes, but they are much thinner. The basic crepe can be eaten in a variety of ways, with or without fillings. They are often paired with ice creams and fresh fruits. Whatever maybe the French way of eating them, crepes make a regular appearance on our breakfast table. Orange is one of our favourite fruits, which is why we really like the sweet and tangy Crepe Suzette.
