Crepes and Coins - One tradition in some parts of Europe is to eat crepes on Candlemas. Each family member prepares and cooks a crepe while holding a coin in hand. This is believed to assure happiness until the next Candlemas celebration. Another tradition involves taking turns to flip the pancake with a flick of the wrist, deftly maneuvering the pan with the right hand while holding a coin in the left. The crepe must not fall, stick to the ceiling, or come back down in shreds. Achieving this feat successfully will bring happiness!
​

Recipe for Crepes

​1 C flour
1 tsp salt
3 eggs (beaten)
1 1/2 C milk
1 Tbsp melted butter

Sift together flour and salt. Add eggs, milk, and melted butter, beating vigorously until well blended. Pour batter onto hot griddle, using about 1/4 C for each crepe. Turn once, cooking until lightly brown. Serve with jelly, syrup and other toppings of your choice.
