Madeline
​by Ludwig Bemelmans

Madeline and the other girls who lived in the old house in Paris covered with vines did everything together. They explored the great city of Paris in two straight lines, people watching, ice skating, and going to the zoo with Miss Clavel. They ate together, slept in the same room, and all brushed their teeth at the same time!

​Join them in this tasty snack of French Breads.

Then, travel around Paris and enjoy a Crepe.

Cook

Crepes

Complexity: Easy mixing and measuring. Kids can help.
Time: 10 minutes prep plus several hours in fridge and a few minutes cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar 
  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend with a hand beater, until a smooth liquid batter is created.
  2. Refrigerate the batter for at least 1-2 hours, ideally overnight.
  3. Heat an 8-inch crêpe pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly butter the pan and  pour a scant 1/4 cup (about 1 fl. oz.) of the batter into the center of the pan while tilting to swirl and evenly coat the surface. Cook until the bottom and edge turn golden brown. Using a small spatula, lift the edges of the crêpe, then lift and flip. (The first crêpe is usually a mess, so don’t despair if it isn’t perfect.) Cook the second side for just a few seconds, until golden in spots. Slide the crêpe onto a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as  needed. You can stack the crêpes as you cook them; they won’t stick.
  4. Top crepes with butter, Nutella, sliced fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
