The ultimate tip for unforgettable crêpes and pancakes: 8 homemade toppings that change everything!

Let's get down to business: for this year's Chandeleur, we're ditching the industrial jars and going all out for homemade. Nothing beats the satisfaction of spreading a still-warm mixture on a crêpe just out of the frying pan, and we guarantee the difference is just insane.

Whether it's a salted butter caramel that coats the batter perfectly, a richly flavored chocolate-hazelnut spread, or a peppy fruit jam, we're all about creamy textures! It's an opportunity to show that a few simple ingredients are all you need to create toppings that steal the show from the crêpes themselves ;)

Let's prepare in advance to make them on the week end!

Homemade is (really) the secret of successful crêpes

We all have the reflex of slipping a jar of famous spread into the cart while shopping. It's convenient, it's true. But have you ever looked at the list of ingredients? Between palm oil and sugar, which comes in first place, it's a far cry from the authentic taste of hazelnut. In cooking, as in everything else, it's the products that make the difference.

Making your own garnish means taking back the power over what you eat. We dose the sugar as we like, we choose quality hazelnuts, and above all, we avoid preservatives. And, between you and me, the smell of sugar caramelizing in the kitchen or hazelnuts being roasted immediately sets the mood, doesn't it?
