Directions
Kate’s Basic Crepes, This is my foolproof method for crepes. There are step-by-step photos in the French Forum to go with it. Use oil for savory crepes, sweet butter for dessert crepes. Depending on your taste and the weather humidity affects the batter, use anywhere from 6 – 8 eggs. And check out the Crepes! cookbook for dozens of crepe fillings and recipes posted here on ‘Zaar., Where do I start?! These were wonderful and fun to make. I really felt like I learned a great new technique I made these. I only needed 6 egges, batter was terrific and I let it sit out while I made the fillings I was going to use about 30-45 minutes. I goofed on the first one I was using a cast iron skillet, too heavy for me to work with for these. Once I got the pan right, the crepes came out terrific. I waited for my pan to be good and hot, brushed it quickly with oil, poured in some batter really thin then turned the pan around to spread the batter thin. Flipping it was easy as long as you waited until the edges were brown. used these three ways 1. “Kate’s Easy Crepes Suzette”, 2. “Delice Lorraine”, and 3. Nutella, whipped cream and sliced strawberries The first two are recipes on Zaar the third is almost assuredly on Zaar, but it was easy enough to not need a recipe. What an outstanding treat for family and guests. Thank you!!!!!!, I LOVE crepes…been buying them for years : I had unexpected dinner guests last Sunday and needed a dessert. No time to run to the bakery so I applied myself and made the crepes. Soooo much better than the ones I had been buying. Turned them into Kates easy Crepe Suzette. SO has been at me all week for more so tonight it’s strawberry filled crepes with cream & chocolate sauce. Next week I’ll make them savoury. Wonderful recipe. Thanks so much Jamie

Heat Your Skillet or, If You Are Lucky Enough to Have One, Your Crepe Pan, Add Oil or Butter or a Combination of Both--Just Enough to Give the Pan's Surface a Sheen, and Add Just Enough Batter to Make a Very Thin Veil Across the Pan. |
