Bavarian Crepes: Bavarian Crepe Day

Today is Bavarian Crepe Day, and it's a perfect day for these pancake-like desserts. A Bavarian crepe is made from buckwheat flour or wheat flour. It is usually filled with Bavarian cream and then topped with fruits, chocolate, and whipped cream.

Bavarian Crepes are popular in Central and Eastern Europe and are similar to French crepes (thin pancakes). The popularity of Bavarian crepes is that they were usually filled with rich Bavarian cream.

The following recipe doesn't include Bavarian Cream, but you can easily add it before you flip the crepes. These crepes are very versatile.
