La Chandeleur has roots dating back to Roman times, marking the midway point between winter and spring. Over the centuries, it became a religious holiday commemorating the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. The tradition of eating crepes on this day is tied to superstition: their round, golden appearance represents the sun, symbolizing the promise of longer, sunnier days. Families gather to prepare and flip crepes, with the superstition that flipping them with a coin in hand brings good fortune for the year ahead.

Crepes are incredibly versatile, allowing you to enjoy them as a sweet or savory treat. For a sweet version, classic fillings like chocolate spread, jam, or fresh fruit topped with whipped cream are always crowd-pleasers. Try fillings such as ham, cheese, and vegetables for a savory option. To elevate your creation, drizzle with honey or dust with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.
