Even my dubious husband thought these lemon curd-filled Butter and Rum\u00a0Cr\u00eapes<\/strong> were an outstanding dessert! Elegant and delicious!<\/em><\/p>\n This Dorie Greenspan recipe takes simple cr\u00eapes and turns them into a multi-faceted treat by adding Homemade Lemon Curd<\/strong>. These Dessert Cr\u00eapes <\/strong>are perfect\u00a0for a special brunch offering as well!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I had some 3-day old chocolate chip bars sitting on the counter. The hubby was eyeing those for his dessert. But there was also a plate of these freshly made Butter and Rum Cr\u00eapes, filled with lemon curd and topped with berries and a citrus honey sauce. \u201cYou know I really don\u2019t like cr\u00eapes,\u201d was his response when I asked him to just take a d@$m forkful.<\/p>\n You who have met me in real life realize that\u2019s only what I thought<\/em>, not what I said, as I took a deep breath. He finally humored me with a courtesy bite, and, as I expected, he was pleasantly surprised. \u201cBoy, is that lemony\u2026and good.\u201d Uh, yeah, lemon curd is nothing new around here\u2026but I kept my wifely comments to myself, while inwardly smiling.<\/p>\n \u201cCan I eat this for breakfast?\u201d my hubby questioned. So like with a child, I have learned to pick my battles. Tollhouse chocolate chip bars after dinner\u2026.and dessert cr\u00eapes for breakfast. Welcome to my world!<\/p>\n These were not your typical breakfast cr\u00eapes. The batter was doused with some dark rum, Grand Marnier plus lemon and orange zest. Sold yet? They were then filled with lemon curd (use either Dorie\u2019s recipe or a premium jarred version from your market) and drizzled with a sauce made of honey, orange and lemon juice, and, of course, butter. So whether you want to serve these fancy cr\u00eapes for breakfast or dessert, you have my permission. Just make sure to make these lemon cr\u00eapes!<\/p>\n Cr\u00eape is the French word for pancake. Unlike American pancakes, cr\u00eapes are light, paper thin, and can be sweet or savory. Dessert cr\u00eapes may be filled with jam, fruit, or chocolate, and are often ignited after a light dousing of rum or brandy. Savory cr\u00eapes can be filled with mixtures of meat, cheese, or vegetables and covered in a sauce. They can be served as a starter or entree.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n There are two acceptable pronunciations:\u00a0 Krayps or Krehps. The latter is closest to the French pronunciation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n If you\u2019re making cr\u00eapes frequently, it might be worth the investment. Using a nice nonstick saute pan will work well, too. Use a pan with sloped sides for the best results.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Stay in touch through social media\u00a0@\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>.
