Make Crêpes this month! / Fête des crêpes - Faites des crêpes!
February 2nd is La Chandeleur (Candlemas), and the French celebrate it by making and eating crêpes at home. I recommend you go to Clotilde Dusoulier's Chocolate & Zucchini's recipe for classic crêpes.
You can also opt to make Galettes de Sarrasin, these Brittany-inspired buckwheat crêpes.
If it's too short notice to get the crêpes ready for February 2nd, the good news is they're also on the list of recommended foods for Mardi Gras, on February 16th!
Tradition has it that if you can flip your Crêpes in the air by tossing them firmly in the pan with your right hand, while holding a Louis d'or (a gold coin) in the other hand, it will bring you good fortune all year long.
It is worth giving it a try!
Let me know how it goes.
