Lemon Sugar Dessert Crepes - these French-style crepes are made from scratch and then sprinkled with freshly squeezed lemon juice and some sugar! Simple yet pure deliciousness!
I love crepes and often eat them plain, with just a sweetened drink or coffee. That's what a good crepe should be like - delicious all on its own! Lemon sugar dessert crepes are as simple and easy to make as you can get. Just make some crepes from scratch and then, right before serving, sprinkle them with lemon juice and top with a little bit of granulated sugar.
It's so delicious - this might become your favorite way to eat crepes!
And you don't need a lot of lemon juice or a lot of sugar. Just add a little bit of both, and you're good! If you want crepes stuffed with berries or fruit, I have these recipes you might like:

There is something very special about a soft crepe and crunchy granulated sugar in your mouth. Simple foods at its best!

Crepes are so much fun to make, aren't they? I've never thought to use lemon with them, though, which is weird -- I'm a lemon freak! Love this idea -- thanks.
Your crepes are gorgeous, love the lemon and sugar topping.
Oh these look good!
I saw these last night and wanted to eat them immediately. I did a post not too long ago on Flavored Sugars (http://www.keviniscooking.com/flavored-sugars/) and the citrus ones would be perfect for this! Thanks again. Beautiful photographs as usual. 😉
