These were awesome!! We tried these the other morning for breakfast. I placed the cooked crepes in the toaster oven to keep warm while cooking the others. I rolled them and placed them on the plates, and then poured the orange sauce over, sprinkling the icing sugar on top of the sauce. This worked very well and was SO yummy! Hard to believe it was a low-cal recipe! Will definitely try this recipe again. Thanks!!
