    Some thoughts from a French guy:
    - There's no need for sugar in the batter. The thing you add to the crepe will take care of the sweetness. I usually don't put any, or just a bit of vanillated sugar (10 grams)
    - Put a bit of Cognac (one or two spoons) in your batter. If you don't have Cognac, old rhum or even a bit of beer will do, too. Trust me, it will taste even better !
    - While making savory crepes with sweet crepes works, you should try "galettes" which is the traditional way of making savory crepes here and is made with buckwheat
    - We don't smoke everywhere all the time 😬

    Usually we recommend letting the batter rest a bit for it to develop a bit of flavour (especially if you add some liquor in the batter, like rhum or my grandma's favorite : "Mandarine Napoléon").
    Also personally I add some butter in the batter, and I fry them in butter because...reasons (butter is life).

      Yeah, also (might be particular to my region of France) we don't make crêpes with sugar and oil in the batter, the oil is in the pan and the sugar is on the crêpe once it's cooked. But the batter is also much more liquid (more milk i guess), the crêpes are cooked at the highest temperature available, the garnish is put on the crêpe while it's cooking, not after (especially for galettes) and never put olive oil on a crêpe you heathen! Brittany is the land of salted butter.

    Coming from a Russian family we have blinis, which are the same as crepes. Sometimes we make the dough without sugar and fill them savory. Some fillings are minced meat with onions and dip them in sour creme. Sometimes we fill them with eggs, spring onion and herbs, or with mushrooms and wrap them like a burrito. It's so good! For the sweet filling, my grandma filled them with quark and homemade jam.
    I would love to see Josh making some eastern European dishes as well.

    For once, I have a (minor) disagreement with Papa: your batter is too thick. Crêpe batter has to be very, very runny. Yours is still creamy. A 2:1 ratio of liquid (in mL, not counting the eggs) to flour (in grams) is a minimum (in cups it'd be roughly 1.5:1 I guess), and even that can be too thick... I'd rather go for 2.5:1. There's nothing worse than thick crêpes that set too soon before they spread. If however your batter is liquid enough, your pan hot enough and appropriately greased, then you'll get really crispy edges, dotted with small holes, like "crêpes dentelle", and a thin, pliable center.

    • @godminnette2
      @godminnette2 2 роки тому +15

      I completely agree. His batter is too thick and he needs to work on his dispersion technique. That pan should be moving as the batter leaves the ladle!
      Also, if he's not making the batter the night before, he needs to use warm milk and let it sit at least like fifteen minutes. And the sugar really isn't necessary...

  • @taigamath
    @taigamath 2 роки тому +26

    I'm not the only one to say this but: Frenchie here from brittany (where crepes are from); you should definitely use semi salted butter in the batter and for the pan too. It tastes soooo much better. For the pan, use two pieces of paper towels, put a big piece of butter in the center and twist the paper towel around. then use it to grease the pan. The butter will get through the paper towel and you can spread just the right amount on the pan. It's so much better than 'oil spray'.
    First recipe looks delicious by the way ! I need to try it !

    You can make smooth crepe batter without putting it through a fine mesh strainer, my guy...
    Also, use warm milk, not cold, and I recommend whisking it until smooth after adding only half the milk. You can also skip adding the sugar. If you are putting on sweet toppings, the contrast is wonderful! Not everything has to be sweet! If you want to experiment with flavor in your crêpe, try mixing different types of flavor. My father likes half white, half buckwheat when he makes his.
    It is most recommended to make your batter the night before. In this case, the warm milk isn't necessary; it's a shortcut if you are making the batter in the same morning. If you aren't making it the night before, you also must let the batter sit out for at least fifteen minutes.
    Finally, you gotta work on your technique a little my guy. The pan should be moving as you ladle batter onto it to have a truly even distribution. A good crêpe doesn't have that thicker circle of batter in the center, but is the same thin consistency all the way across, with only the very fringes being thinner (and crispy), as it's unavoidable.
    Edit: I think you need to add more milk. Looking at how it spreads in the pan, your batter is too thick!

      I see all these comments recommending to let the batter rest. I worked as a crêpier in a Parisian crêperie. Having gone through buckets of crêpe batter, I don't see any difference between batter that is fresh or 15mins or 1h old. Batter left in the fridge overnight starts to ferment and become thick and slightly sour (you'll know bc it creates bubbles when fried up). Although it doesn't taste bad, it's impossible to make thin crêpes with it and we'd always toss it. So I'm not so sure about leaving it overnight.

However, they are able to make razor-thin crepes with it still. Perhaps their batter is simply made a certain way? Or they add a little more milk the next morning. Maybe I'll check with them and see.
      I, however, do notice a difference between making it fresh and waiting fifteen minutes. Perhaps it's just placebo. I'd be interested in people doing little blind tests with this.

      @@godminnette2 I mean I can imagine that if you start with a super liquidy batter it would still be liquid enough the next day, but you wouldn't be able to prevent the fermentation and slight sourness of the batter, imo. But that doesn't make the batter inedible, it just isn't traditional 🤷🏻‍♀️ And yeah his batter I'd 100% too thick. If I recall correctly (it's been a few years), we used to use 1:4 ratio of flour:milk.
      P.S. Where I see the benefit of resting the batter is of you use a blender or mixer to make it, because that whips a lot of air into the batter. In that case, resting is a necessity to prevent bubbles in the final crêpe!

      @godminnette2 2 роки тому +1

      @@ivanapavkova6789 Oh, my father would always use a mixer, and that was part of the difference noticed when I tried without letting it rest! I personally just whisk by hand. I'll have to try not letting it rest sometime and see if there's many air bubbles; when I made some today, even after letting it rest for fifteen minutes, there were still some, especially in the first 2-3. I should probably adjust my whisking technique to introduce less air into the batter...

    but you would be put in prison if someone saw you make salty crepes in Bretagne (in other regions of France they do it too but they don’t deserve crepes either). If you want a salty crepe make a buckwheat galette.
    The crepe Suzette also looks very good but you could easily make it a 100 times better by just putting the crepe in the sauce while making it and then flambé the crepe.

And galettes are very often eaten sweet too (for example with apples and caramel).

    Add soda (sparkling) water to fluff up the dough
    Use less sugar (actually only a pinch is needed)
