Ingredients serves 4

For the crepes

Preparation

1 The crepes: beat all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well-blended. Prepare the crepes by covering the surface of a small frying pan with a thin layer of the mixture. Cook on high heat 1 minute per side. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used and reserve prepared crepes.

Wine Pairing

Advice of Wine to combine

Suggest from Sommelier

The delicacy of this dish calls for an equivalent affinity in the wine and here I propose a young Viognier that's a bit creamy and sweet from a recent vintage.
