Anise and sesame seeds may seem like unlikely additions to your next batch of crêpes, but trust me–it’s outstanding. Together, the anise, sesame, and orange taste mysterious, somewhat exotic, and completely addiction-worthy.
I wish I could tell you that I just pulled this brilliant flavor combination out of my head, but, unfortunately, that’s not the case. The idea came from the wildly delicious Spanish crackers that I’m totally obsessed with. They’re awesomely olive oily, large, round crisps, dotted with anise and sesame seeds, and sprinkled with sugar. Even the packaging is delicious; they come wrapped in beautiful wax paper printed with poetic-sounding blue type. Legítimas y acreditadas.
I could easily form-a-pack a day habit if they weren’t so danged expensive. But it’s okay. It’s okay because I came up with these crêpes. These crêpes emulate the essence of my beloved crackers without the hefty price tag. The flavors are subtle, but intriguing and craveable. You’ll love them with coffee for breakfast, as an afternoon snack, or stacked into a torte for dessert.
