Candlemas and its pancakes!
Candlemas in France is a time to enjoy good pancakes, made with good local products! And they are even better when you can add to them with the many local delicacies (spread, honey, jam or salted butter caramel). We also share with you two good addresses where you can taste a good pancake in Sarreguemines... And of course we went to taste them for you!
We interview professionals!
We went to meet two restaurants in Sarreguemines, Le Bounty and Le Sirop d’Érable, who have made the crepe a staple of their establishments and asked them a few questions:
Le Bounty
JLauer – Sarreguemines Tourisme- What is a good pancake for you? “It is above all good products for the preparation of the pancake batter, like our eggs which come from a farm near Sarreguemines.”
- What is the best pancake filling? “We offer a crepe with caramelised apples in cider with homemade salted butter caramel, a real treat! Not forgetting our Kinder crepe!”
- How many pancakes do you offer on the menu? “On our map, we have about 15 of them.”
- Any last words? “We always focus on the quality of ingredients and fillings!”
Au Sirop d’Érable
JLauer – Sarreguemines Tourisme- What is a good pancake for you? “The quality of the dough and the choice of ingredients. For example, using semi-salted butter instead of oil!”
- What is the best pancake filling? “The most popular one in our house is the gourmet crepe, with its duo of homemade chocolate and salted butter caramel coulis!”
- How many pancakes do you offer on the menu? “Our menu offers 25 crêpes.”
- Any last words? “If you want to make thin pancakes with less grace, you should invest in a small electric pancake maker.”
