Colonial Crepes History
The French were the American colonists’ biggest supporters during the American Revolutionary War. Some 10,000 French troops, as well as over 20,000 French sailors, fought at the Americans’ side against the British, including French officers such as General Lafayette and Admiral de Grasse. With these thousands of French military personnel came their beloved French skillet treat, the crepe. The smells and sights of thin French pancakes could be found around the campfires of multi-national soldier encampments during the American Revolution. The Founder’s love of crepes continued after the war. For example, Thomas Jefferson sent a recipe for crepes that he obtained from his French chef, Etienne Lemaire, home to Monticello while serving as President in Washington, D.C.. Benjamin Franklin, who served as an American Minister to France, was another Founder who had a hunkering for crepes. Brooker’s Founding Flavors Colonial Crepes adds a sweet creperie to your Revolutionary era America dessert experience. Enjoy the Marquis de Lafayette's favorite dessert!
