What is Bastille Day?

France’s national holiday commemorates the fall of the Bastille prison in 1789, which was the year the French threw off the yoke of the monarchy. It was made an official national holiday in 1880 and has been celebrated every year since, except during World War II.

What is the difference between a crêpe and a galette?

A crêpe refers to the sweet version made with white flour and filled with sweet toppings like salted caramel, chocolate, lemon and sugar, or jam. Savory crêpes are called galettes, made with buckwheat flour, and traditionally filled with Swiss cheese, ham, and a fried egg.

Can crêpe batter be made in advance?

Yes, crêpe batter should rest for 2 hours before using, and the cooked crêpes can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator with parchment paper between each crêpe so they do not stick together.

Can filled crêpes be frozen?

Yes, filled crêpes can be frozen or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring them to room temperature before baking.
