Crespelle
Crespelle, Italian crêpes, are one of the most versatile recipes in the kitchen. You can use them shredded in soups, layered in lasagna, stuffed and rolled in manicotti, or baked with vegetables and pesto, and if you add some sugar to the batter, you can make endless forms of dessert with them. My favorite dessert rendition is to slather them with some rose hip jam, roll them into cigars, and eat them. I could not get enough of them in my childhood. I like to make a big batch of crespelle—once you get going, they are done in no time, and you can freeze or refrigerate the extras.
