crepes like in france?

[ames]

why is it that in france the savory crepes are so different? i just came back from skiing where i literally lived on them ( i am vegatarian so not many options in france!) and now i cant make them the same. apparently its the flour they use? can anyone help me and give me some recipes/tips to make the big flat crepes that are folded in around the edges but not quite to the center?

My mother in law is from Brittany and they use buckwheat, which is not really a wheat at all. It gives a nuttier flavour to the crepe.

Waitrose do them ready filled (same brand as the ready made ones you buy in French supermarkets).

Appears you are in a similar boat to me! - I came back from skiing recently and am also vegetarian. I found myself living on baguette and brie. The freshly made crepes seem to be more eggy. I love em.
