      Get your hands on some "Nutella" if you can - as a topping :-).
      You recipy has even less flour then mine but way more egg.
      175g/500 ml 1 egg
      Shape and thinness are very similar - delicate, light, soft yet a little chewy.
      Thanks for sharing.

    I'm french and like the rest of us, we love to make crepes. This is an excellent tutorial.
    But in addition to the ingredients you've added, I like to add a hint of vanilla (real is best but one cap of extract is fine). I also use a splash of rhum of good quality in the batter.
    For the cooking, I flip when the sides starting turning brown.
    Lifting the pan while pouring is key.
    For the batter, just use a laddle.
    For the serving, at my home we do it simply with sugar and lemon. It's amazing :)
    Over all excellent video. If I was uncle roger I would call you auntie.

    I love the chopstick method for flipping, as a European I would have never thought of that! I always flip with a flat spatula and a fork to carefully lift the crepe, to get the spatula underneath it. Unfortunately I can't really flip it by throwing it in the air, I've seen some chefs do that too 🙈

    I just made your recipe this morning, and it was amazing. The measurements were spot on. I am gluten and dairy free, so I substituted canned Thai coconut milk for the cow's milk and Red Mill gluten-free flour for the regular flour. For the filling, I substituted coconut cream (1 Tablespoon per crepe) for the whipping cream. I used extra strawberries. Even with the substitutions, it was deliscious. I highly recommend your recipe! 😊

      i mean, it's not rocket science. its eggs, milk, flour, and some type of fat. sugar and rum is optional depending on what you are using the crepe for...food or sweets. the key to a good swirl is to not have a thick batter. it needs to be runny or else it gets clogged in the pan. i flip with the pan since i mastered the technique. i love the chopstick method though. brilliant!

    I am french and this is a great tutorial! Personally I add less eggs, but these look amazing anyway. You got thickness perfect, and adding rum is great. If you are able to, flipping the crêpe in the air is really the easiest way. If you don't eat them all at once, a ziplock bag is the best way to keep them. And finally, the best and easiest toppings are: nutella or lemon + sugar, or sugar+butter.

Less eggs makes it much more hard to mix in the beginning, and you have to be more careful to not add the milk too fast. So use more eggs if you don't like mixing. It probably also changes the texture of the crêpe. It's cheaper too no doubt.

    So very relaxing watching you cook! We/I make thousands of crepes here at our place for our guests breakfast. I use a stainless pan and oil from a squeeze bottle and the highest heat possible, smoking hot , i toss flip the crepes in the pan although i do keep a flat thin flexible spatula at ready if needed because I cook so many they cook at high heat in about 30 seconds on one side and 10-15 the other. I don't add salt or sugar. I add a pinch of cinnamon to the flour and will add the egg and water at the same time and vigorously mix over the sink so as not to make a big mess. Almost all of our guests are from Europe. They tell me they are the best or just like mom . I enjoy watching other people cooking and there style and techniques you tube is great for that.

      I add anise extract to my batter when I make pancakes and I bet it would taste good in crepes too. I learned of this trick in an interesting way. My husband and I splurged on a weekend at a fancy resort. The pancakes had a delicious flavor but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I asked the waiter if he could ask the chef what he put in the batter to make them taste so good. The waiter returned and told us that the chef added just a touch of anise extract. We later found out that they had a celebrity chef that weekend and it was Wolfgang Puck! We passed on the very expensive cooking lessens he was offering that weekend but I had gotten a free tip from Wolfgang Puck, so I was happy. If you try this, use very little. If you add too much it will taste like licorice.

      Carbon steel crepe pans are vastly superior to non-stick in my experience. They hold heat better and do not have the hot spots that light nonstick pans can have. I would not go with stainless steel, as you cannot really season them, and again they aren’t quite as good at retaining heat. Cast iron works too, but unless yours is highly polished and only used for crepes (and maybe eggs), it can be difficult to rely on. Black carbon steel crepe pans are simply the easiest to use and give you the best results.

    BEST Crepe Recipe ever 10/10! I've never had a crepe recipe like this. Often I would have to tweak a recipe but this is PERFECT as it is. I had my doubts about adding 2 Cups of milk because it made the batter too watery for my liking. I was afraid the crepes would tear everywhere. But since I already had the mixture, I thought I may as follow everything to the letter. The results were fantastic! The only thing I added was 1 tsp of vanilla because I like the flavour so it is an option. Thank you Aya for generously sharing this recipe along with examples of what can cause failed crepes.

    Hands down, the best crepes ever. Thank you for this amazing tutorial! The crepes had a bite to them, almost like a chew which we loved. The recipe ratios also made it super easy to flip compared to the others I tried before.
    Our favorite way to have it was with just a sprinkle of sugar (on the first side of the crepe before cooking the 2nd side) and with a squeeze of lemon or lime at the end.

Especially showing us what can go wrong & why & how to fix it! Yours is the first crepe making video I've watched & I am so glad - the "spilling all my secrets" made me choose yours first! I love your idea of turning it with chopsticks - I imagine that takes a little practice! Thank you for an excellent video, I don't have to watch anyone else's!

    Just made them. With some practice with pour quantities, my pan was slightly bigger than yours, they came out perfectly. Because the pan was bigger, I had bit of issue using the chopsticks, so eventually I just used my hands. Coincidentally, we have the same range and it helped when I used the same heat settings as you did. Thank you! ❤

    I have tried quite a bit of other recipes on this site, but this one is my favorite so far. My crepes came out thin, and have a nice crunch when I bite into some its bits. Plus it helps it doesnt take me half a day to prep and I can make it for breakfast on the samee day. Plus it helps that what I made actually looks like on the thumbnail!😁
    With the minor exception of me sticking to vanilla exract.
    Thank you very much and I will definitely enjoy this crepe recipe for a long while.

    This was the most precise crepe making video I have ever seen. I had to watch because I love cooking up large batches of crepes and enjoy them with a sour creme and cottage cheese mixture similar to a cheese blintze. I would love an authentic recipe for the cheese blintze part. Although I I love my cheese blintzes they don't quite taste the same as I have had in restaurants. Thank you so much for this video. I am now going to check out your other videos!

    Would this recipe work without sugar (and maybe a little more salt)?
    We love salty crepes in breakfast too. You can put cream cheese, herbs and thin cucumber layers inside which is a fantastic breakfast if you did not try.
    I also recommend adding some tahini (sesame paste) for the sweat one. It makes the caramelization so much better and the taste is fantastic.

    The reason to rest the batter is to let the flour swell before cooking.

  • @Jodabomb24
    @Jodabomb24 10 місяців тому +4

    It's always so interesting, as someone who has made thousands and thousands of crepes over the years, to see someone else's setup. Most of the things we do are really similar, like the measuring cup in the bowl for pouring the batter (though I typically use a 1/4 cup since I use smaller pans). I wanted to offer a couple of extra comments though:
    First, I always use clarified butter to lube up the pan. It's very easy to make, and it does not burn or go bad as quickly as plain butter.
    Second, you did a lot of mixing to avoid having lumps in the batter, but honestly I never bother. My batter always has lumps in it, and nobody ever notices in the finished crepes. They still cook the same. Although, I do rest my batter, and I wonder whether that extra time for flour hydration makes the lumpy parts have a better texture when they're cooked....
    And third, I really recommend people try flipping the crepes with the pan! It's fun, it looks impressive, and it's really a lot easier than people think. You just shake the crepe down to the edge of the pan and give a little wrist flick, usually less force than people think. I've taught so many people how to do it, and without fail every person has nailed it within 5 tries.

    Hey, in my family we love thin crepe and my mother has a way more healthy and budget friendly recipe so I thought I’d share it.
    Recipe:
    - 1 and 1/4 cup of milk (I use plant milk, and you can also use water or half milk half water!)
    - 1 egg (I find that it’s enough, but you could put two if it matters to you)
    - 3/4 flour
    - a pince of salt
    - 1 tsp of sugar (optional, and if you’re making sweet crepes, I recommend adding two tsp of vanilla sugar)
    - 1 tablespoon of oil (any kind, it doesn’t matter)
    Since we like our crepes extremely thin, I often end up adding more liquid, like a 1/4 to 1/2 cup more, but it depends for everyone !

      When making crepes, one has to remember there will be filling, so no need to try to put more butter and milk than necessary, cause you won’t taste the difference once there’s filling I believe

    In Russian culture we pretty much make and eat crepes on everyday basis. I never knew you could complicate the process this much!! It’s so much more simple, mix eggs with milk add flour, don’t worry about flour balls, it will dissolve on its own and be super smooth. Add butter, sugars/flavourings. Leave it for flour to do it’s magic. Pour. Cook. A regular spatula will do the job to flip it. Cook. Flip onto plate add butter. Done. No need for all the chop stick flipping and mixing dry ingredients. What nonsense.
