Beach Crepes

It’s true.  I have stolen my dear friend Lynn’s recipe for swedish pancakes. I have also blatantly renamed it “beach crepes” because we always make them whenever we go out to the family beach house on Whidbey Island. The kids beg for them and I always willingly oblige. We are out there mostly in the summer, so I always a make a topping for them of whatever berry is in season. I mix the berries with a little cornstarch and sugar and boil them until they thicken into a nice gooey topping.  The kids love it with blueberries, but I think nothing beats our blackberries around here.  Lynn’s family likes theirs with butter, fresh lemon juice and sugar.  I hope Lynn will forgive me for my evil ways ….I think she will.

P.S.  I usually have to double this recipe as we are very hearty eaters
