Crepes + Cherry Butter
Cherry season is here! I loooove cherries. When I was little tartelette, I used to pick bags of cherries from the tree in our backyard and eat them by the handful!Cherries make a delicious compound butter. Served atop homemade crepes with fresh cherries, this is the perfect way to start your day...with a piping hot cup of coffee of course...Crepes + Cherry ButterCrepes: Makes 8 CrepesIngredients:1 1/2 cups sifted organic all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon rose salt2 organic large eggs2 cups organic whole milk2 tablespoons melted, cooled cherry butter (recipe below)Directions:Melt butter and allow to cool.
