Although my mother warned me not to say anything, one of the first things I would say upon arrival was, "I'm hungry" hoping that these cookies would appear.

These wonderful Ruffled Crepes are named for Isabel Holden, the original owner of the circa 1902 Victorian Bed & Breakfast. Served on a plate and garnished with sour cream and baked in muffin tins the lovely ruffled sides are truly an elegant presentation.
