So this is how I learned to make crepes (i'm french): more milk, use salted butter instead of unsalted, no vanilla extract and add a little bit of Cointreau to the batter (orange liqueur). because we use more milk it will be more liquid and you will very easily be able to like twist your pan to move your batter around your pan so it will become a very thin crepe. 6 eggs 1 L milk 500 g flour little bit of salt little bit of oil a dash (idk if that's how you say it in English) of Cointreau and bake the crepes in salted butter
I have to use up a doz. eggs today so will make a batch of crepes and also some eclairs. Thanks for mentioning moving the pan around after adding the crepe batter. I've always done it that way and laughed a little at all of those extra tools John uses (level tool and the paddle thing). A non-metal spatula works fine for flipping (I have even flipped in the pan without a spatula) and pan rolling will spread out the batter and make a nice round crepe. Hope you are doing well and cooking up a storm.
This is by far his best video. Anyone who's tried crepes knows how you feel after that first one. Seeing him make them and they not be absolutely perfect, gives me confidence to try again! I hope everyone in the house is ready, because it's crepes for breakfast lunch and dinner tomorrow lol.
Hey John ! As a French who made so much crepes in his life, a few notes. When you use a crepe pan, use enough batter to fill the bottom. It'll be round cause the batter won't go up on a lifted border. So use a smaller pan, or use more batter and make more crepes batter ;-) Use one hand to pour the batter, the other to move/swing the pan and let gravity do it's thing. And yes, I see that your pan is maybe too heavy for that. While you're using the tool, you crepe bakes and become thick when it shouldn't) omelettemaking To mix the batter you used a robot and there is nothing wrong with that, but that's not a stiff dough but a liquid batter, and your French whisk would have done the trick (less dishes !). Even a fork would work I guess. I have a French whisk similar to yours cause you convinced me. I love it, it's the best thing in my kitchen, and I even use it for omelettes and everything, even my protein shakes. Thank you a million times for teaching us about this. I only had balloon whisk before, I didn't know French whisk existed (is it ironic cause I'm French ? it is.) Half an hour rest is enough for your batter according to most recipes I've seen. Is it better if it rest overnight ? I don't know, I can't see why but many recommend it. If you know why, please tell me. In my experience, the batter is liquid enough that the flour is hydrolysed perfectly after mixing everything, and actually if the batter rest, the flour tends to drop at the bottom of the bowl. I don't give my batter any rest at all, and it all goes well. My only guess here is that people used to have a piece of vanilla stick in there, or cinnamon bark, and it was better to let that infuse. OK, I'll stop here. I though I was about to write like 3 lines and I wrote... A whole essay ! I'm very sorry ! But I hope it will help you and others who might read. Take care, and thanks again for all the recipes !
Thank you for taking the time to share your tips! I’ve just started making crepes and my first batch turned out much better than I expected, but they still weren’t as great as the restaurant.
I found you about a year ago. I have been baking for over 20 years. Last year I decided to go for it and started my baking business from home. I love getting ideas from you! Thank you. You’re the sweetest!!
I wanted to learn how to make crepes and came looking here - I love your forgiving/perfectionist nature. You put so much care and excitement into what you make
You are always smiling, and so positive and your dessert recipes are just like you. Looking at you gives me the zeal to go on you know. Thanks for everything.
I can't eat eggs anymore, but I will make crepes for my family using your recipe. When I lived in Germany I made them with a made up recipe of my own using about 3/4 c of a/P flour, 1 egg, and 1/4 c of whole milk. Not sure why it worked but my ex husband loved them filled with strawberries, whipped cream, and local strawberries. Sometimes scrambled eggs with either local sausage bits or chopped ham, or whatever leftovers. Thank you for bringing back bittersweet memories of a beautiful time I spent with my baby son in a little town, with some wonderful German people.
In our crepes we sprinkle on caster (superfine) sugar and drizzle over fresh lemon juice, then roll it up, it’s so good. Thanks for another brilliant recipe John XX
3/4 cups milk 3 tbs melted butter 1 tbs sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup flour 2 eggs Let the batter chill out The crêpes cook in 90 seconds
Treated myself to a French Crepe maker and wooden toools [spreader and pallett knife Made these crepes everyday for a week various eg Lemon.podered sugar. Orange and mape syrup.. Pureed rasberries /lemon powered sugar My favourite. Im 87 dont get out much so enjoy all your cooking vidio's and making your recipes Thank you
In Belgium we eat them with a kind of brown sugar called "cassonade". My grandma used to make them for me and my cousins after school. Such a childhood favorite !
They look deelish! Three alternative things from a French mama here in France: instead of vanilla, we use fleur d’oranger; we use more batter for a pan size crèpe; when we mix the batter we make it like a roux with the flour and eggs first, then liquid (we use half milk, half water and more of it) and salt. No mixer needed. By the by, as you say, we put jam in them. No matter how you do it, so good!
Your crepes look delicious. In Bosnia and Herzegovina it's the only pancakes we make, and that was the first recipe my mother taught me how to make! I was 13. Soon I was flipping them over from the pan... But then again we usually make our own filo pastry as well. It's a tradition. We loooove to cook and bake at home! Thank you for the recipes and videos, I really enjoy watching them!
We went to the farmers market and didn’t feel like spending $28 on two savory crêpes, so we came home and made your recipe, and they were delicious ! Very satisfying to make our own! After the savory crepes we had a dessert crepe with Italian pistachio cream (kind of like Nutella but no chocolate), and they were so freaking delicious! Thanks!
Thank you for great garlic bread, pizza dough, and homemade vanilla recipes, they were all great and I suspect this one will be no different. have a Blessed day and don't forget to Enjoy Life. From Bridgeport Connecticut
My mom would make these on our birthday for breakfast. She called them Swedish Pancakes. I make them now for my husband occasionally and we smear some peanut butter on them, add sliced bananas, roll them up with the tines of a fork and drizzle maple syrup on them. Yummm. Good memories.
Crepe fillings I use: raspberry, or any, jam thin layer and rolled, Nutella thin spread and rolled, whipped cream in center row and thinly sliced strawberries - thawed from freezer if not in season and folded over. Love peanut butter idea but will have to try it with the maple syrup (Canadian here). LOL
I had to make crepe in school. I was only in the 7th grade. Upside-down fry pan. I did get A's in cooking class, but NEVER wanted to make or eat these again!!! Lol. Now I'm a Grandmother. My Granddaughter got a job, she makes the crepes!!! She laughs at me, easy peasy, its electric cooker. So she came to my house I showed her upside down fry pan. What fun!!!😂😂
I love crepes! ❤️ My 8 year old grandson does too. I told him Nana knew how to make crepes one day. Now we have them every time he spends the night! Such a great tradition. My daughter in law and younger grandson are allergic to strawberries, so his mom won’t make them. 😢But Nana will. 😉 I think the whip cream and chocolate is a great option for the little guy. Thanks! ❤️🤗 I love watching your videos. It always makes me happy.
Lol 😂 ..... I was thinking what to make for this weekend dinner with my sons.... needs to be easy and delicious....crepes !! Yeah, John has telepathic powers !! He read our minds . It’s Valentine’s Day too , Chinese New Year , what else are we celebrating....?? This is going in my weekend menu ! Thanks John for always making me look like a great chef !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We grew up with a simple "rolled up pancake" that my mother learned in Switzerland just after WWII, so it was likely made with what they had available after the war's end. Just 3 eggs, 3/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup flour. Adjust the batter with flour or milk until it reached the proper consistency (very light batter). Leaving too much egg in the mix makes it fluffier and more like a pancake. Heat and oil a flat frying pan or griddle (probably little butter available). Batter was spread it a circle and turned with a wide spatula. After cooking the other side and removing to a plate, spread your favorite jam on one side, and roll the crepe into a log and slice up into rings. We had that or french toast (again, simplified - just eggs and milk in the batter), every weekend morning growing up.
This is my Sunday morning go to. I make a pile of crepes, cut up bananas, berries, and make a big ol' crepe bar using your chocolate and caramel sauce recipe, and lemon curd if I have it. I let the jackles have at it, it is hilarious and heartwarming, crepes are love.
I love how you still do everything so organically it's very endearing and one of the reasons (besides your delicious recipes) that drew me to your channel.
HOW COME WHENEVER I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING JOHN ALWAYS POSTS THAT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should really open a mind-reading store for baking because you have literally read everyone's mind!!! 😲🙌😱👏😲🙌😱👏😲🙌😱👏 thanks so much for all the amazing recipes and have a wonderful day!!! I usually like crepes with nutella and bananas! but everything else is great too!!
Crepes are my absolute fave, I add extra butter to them after they are cooked, sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar and a generous dash of lemon juice. Sublime!
Hy, I'm from Croatia, Europe. Here we call crapes just "pancakes". I made a looot of crapes in my life. To make process easyer: 1. make the mixture a bit more runny, 2. you don't need to use any tools for spreding crapes, you just grab a pan and hold it at an angle and at the same time pour the mixture and rotate the pan to spread it evenly throughout the pan. After some practice you will be able to turn pancakes withouth using a spatula, only by doing a light hand movement and flipping the crape in the air.
I haven't made crepes in years. My daughter asked for them for her birthday today, so here I am finding a recipe. I swirl the batter in the pan, and the pan that I use is the orgreenic pancake pan. It's a hinged double pan, so I just flip the pan over to get a little color on the other side of the crepe. I've used this pan for making crepes for years, works great every time.
We have an electric crepe maker. It takes the guess work out of making crepes or pancakes. You get the right temperature all the time. We bought ours from Aldi (UK) as a snap purchase. Saw it on "special" and bought it. I've made savoury and sweet crepes on it, also American style pancakes. Lovely 😋 Can't go wrong with John's recipes either.
Grew up eating these and then making them for my family. We would just butter them up and add maple syrup when I was in my youth. My own kids and husband added peanut butter, and then syrup for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can also fill them with heartier fillings and add a variety of sauces. When the new area at Disney World’s Epcot in France opens (very soon, I hope), there will be a Creperie. Yum!
Just saying every single recipe video I watch is amazing! Always a hit!! Just made your brownie yesterday.. omg!!! Pleased even the toughest brownie critic lol. Thank you. I binge watch your videos. Been home a lot of course due to quarantine but leukemia too. So this is keeping me occupied. Only complaint is that you make me want to get up and cook hahaha ❤️❤️
Tip for the spreader tool; you want to keep one of the corners in the middle of the batter, and slowly drag it around in a circular motion, following the pancake until the it has the shape/thickness you want. There are a few tutorials demonstrating it, if visuals are more explanatory to you. :)
Actually you only need that tool if u have the big crêpes griddle. For a pan you just keep the mixture light and runny and move it fast it will spread and take a perfect shape and flip it with long spatula. With coated pan only need a bit of butter unless it savory buckwheat ones than butter will add moisture and taste 😊
Jupiter ALM I know lol, I rarely ever use it myself - usually just turn the pan around. I was more so just giving advice on how to use the tools, they can be quite tricky if you have no clue where to even start.
John, I just love your videos 🤦🏻♀️ I just do, they’re funny, down to earth, just perfect , thanks for the great content always! I requested your book for Christmas, mother’s day and now my birthday lol let’s hope the fam gets it right this time🤣 I love @preppykitchen!
Lovely crepe recipe :) Greetings from Scotland! I love how you are so happy making these even if they are not perfect circles...The taste is what matters...just like our thought. Have a great day!
Crepes were our Saturday night supper treat. We sprinkled sugar and cinnamon over them or spread them with fruit jam and rolled them up. I still have my mom's cast iron crepe pan. I don't know how old that pan is but I'm 70 years old and the pan has always been around.
I honestly wait to see what he makes because he never fails to amaze me! His recipes are so so soooo good and I trust him with every video because it’s just perfection. I hope he makes a video on baked ziti!👀
As a Frenchman I'm impressed. But love the enthusiasms. I would also add a little nutmeg to the batter. Adds a lovely flavour. For spreading you need to move it in one go it takes practice but you're doing really well!👍
Hi ! French person here ! I looove crêpes ! In Brittany (a region of France) we have savory crêpes called “galettes”. They’re made with saracen flour and they’re delicious ! Usually paired with ham, an egg and some cheese. But you can really put any combination :) Also, in your sweet crêpes, you can add some alcohol like rum or brandy or Grand Marnier ! For some flavor ! May I just add that butter is perfect, but salted butter ? Now that’s a whole new level of exquisite. Your crêpes will turn out incredible ! That’s all the tips I have ! Have fun ! PS: My favorite crêpes is salted butter and sugar 🤩🤤
Be confident 😂😂😂 I get my perfect circles by tipping the pan to move the batter around. The dowel on a stick (aka crepe spreader) may be more useful in the mini Zen garden... You're a joy to watch and learn from. Sometimes though I think your extra...
Me alegra que cada día que veo sus videos hay más suscriptores!! Él es el mejor en todo, en sus recetas, en como las explica, como nos da las medidas en tazas y en gramos y en como todo sale fabuloso 👌👌👌🌟🌟 muchos éxitos para usted estimado John 🤗🤗💐💐
Y grsndlodd love Nutella with their Crepes. My favorite way is fresh peaches and soft Vanilla ice cream topped with Butterscotch or Caramel sauce. Heaven!!!!😊
Fancy French name(litteraly meen pancake) and fancy tools, for what we in Europe calls ordinary pancake. I usualy use butter for the pan and only once(for the first pancake), since you already have butter in your batter. PS: and goes with all kinds of pancake additions like honey, maple syrup ect... enjoy :)
I love the idea of whipped cream as the filling; that would be marvelous, however that crepe knife looked like it would more easily tear the crepe than a large rounded spatula. Anywho, very nice stuff🥰
(Edited) Autogenerated English subtitles: hey you're watching *a* preppy kitchen where i **john canal** how to make delicious homemade dishes to share with your family and friends Me: *o_o*
Buckwheat crêpes are also great savory option ( crêpes sarrasin ) 👌 I usually have crepe night from time to time. I just prepare both in advance... filling ingredients... And traaa dinner and dessert crowd fav . Actually it's easier to have a bit runny texture and move the pan to spread it all over it to take shape of the pan than wait till the edge are golden and flip do not rush it it will fall apart 😁
I liked the video very much and I love crepes. He make it sound delicious and easy, I love that he made some good points with the crepes, no too perfect circles, they are a lot better than mine
Thank you John for this delicious crepe recipe. I made half the recipe (one egg) and I had a very good breakfast. It's soft and light, just the way I like it. Just wanted to share this with you. 🙏
I have made many crepes before, but after trying a number of your recipes, I must try this one. I plan to make a crepe cake out of them, to celebrate Mardi Gras. I will fill them with pastry cream from your recipe, which I divided into 3 bowls and colored green, gold, and purple, the colors of Mardi Gras. Thank you, John, for wonderful recipes, especially your macarons with French buttercream. They are to die for!
I’ve made a handful of his recipes now and they were all very delicious. Just a heads up on this one- it was insanely scrumptious however I was only able to make 6 medium sized crepes. For a family of 4 I will double the recipe next time.
Veteran crepe maker, you only need a pan, spatula and a bowl. You dont need anything else, just whip the batter good (dry ingredients then wet, eggs at last). Just lift the pan up and swirl it until the batter covers the pan. Then you wait until you dont see any wet batter anymore and shake it loose. Then flip
On pancake day in England we make crepes (milk, flour, egg), no spreader or turnimg knife, you toss them over! Serve with traditionally lemon juice and white sugar, but Nutella and banana is my favourite 😍
Yum! The best crepe ever was from a crepe stand right by the Ferris wheel in Paris. It was freezing out and we waited forever, but a warm crepe filled with Nutella was everything. Love your videos.
I like to fill mine with a cheesecake filling whipped up fluffy. Then I fold, top with fruit, chocolate and a yorgurt based dressing. addictive and delicious
I love this recipe, I’m obsessed! It’s so easy literally the easiest breakfast before I leave for work or just a midnight snack for when I’m craving something sweet. ❤️❤️❤️
For some reason i only make his recipes because i trust him to make it delicious😂
I do the same, I trust his recipes
Same
Agreed! Lol
In John we trust 🙌🏼
He has the best recipes and I love that his ingredients are very simple pantry items not some rare french product you cant find anywhere
This man got me through quarantine. He has such positive energy and his videos are so fun to watch💕
Same! Love his channel
God got u through quarantine.
I agree!!
Love his recipes. I've tried a few and they are so easy to follow and soooo yummy
@@karunabotha9628 Me too! I especially love his lemon pie recipe.
Mmmm, I love crêpes. It's so easy to make. In every French family, this is the first dessert we learn as a child.
So fun! I can't wait to show the boys how to make them.
There is the infamous "gâteau au yaourt" too 🤣
@@freyjia5067 you're so right.
I love yoghurt cake 😭😂
There's Madeleine too 🤗 Ah les crêpes...so delicious 🥰
So this is how I learned to make crepes (i'm french): more milk, use salted butter instead of unsalted, no vanilla extract and add a little bit of Cointreau to the batter (orange liqueur). because we use more milk it will be more liquid and you will very easily be able to like twist your pan to move your batter around your pan so it will become a very thin crepe.
6 eggs
1 L milk
500 g flour
little bit of salt
little bit of oil
a dash (idk if that's how you say it in English) of Cointreau
and bake the crepes in salted butter
Right, and no leveling bar needed.
That’s too much eggs, it will be like omelette 😅 I put 2 eggs for 1 kg of flour.
I’m not french & don’t know if you feel the same but I cringe when people have the wrong pronunciation of “crepe”
I have to use up a doz. eggs today so will make a batch of crepes and also some eclairs. Thanks for mentioning moving the pan around after adding the crepe batter. I've always done it that way and laughed a little at all of those extra tools John uses (level tool and the paddle thing).

Mine never come out perfectly round but once they're rolled up, who notices. In any case, it's how they taste that counts. Yum!

John: You should always crack your eggs separately so you don't get shells in the batter.
Me: Buttt... that one extra bowl I have to wash :((
I totally agree cause I hat washing dishes
👍😎🌿🌹😍
Plus a tiny bit of eggshell is edible anyway. I agree it is another bowl to wash to crack eggs in.
I was actually in the mood for crepes and followed his recipe. What a coincidence! I added strawberry's to the whip cream delicious

After some practice you will be able to turn pancakes withouth using a spatula, only by doing a light hand movement and flipping the crape in the air.
I am once again begging for an updated kitchen tour, you have the most stunning kitchen and I'd love love love to see it all!
I haven't made crepes in years. My daughter asked for them for her birthday today, so here I am finding a recipe.
I swirl the batter in the pan, and the pan that I use is the orgreenic pancake pan. It's a hinged double pan, so I just flip the pan over to get a little color on the other side of the crepe. I've used this pan for making crepes for years, works great every time.
We have an electric crepe maker. It takes the guess work out of making crepes or pancakes. You get the right temperature all the time. We bought ours from Aldi (UK) as a snap purchase. Saw it on "special" and bought it. I've made savoury and sweet crepes on it, also American style pancakes. Lovely 😋 Can't go wrong with John's recipes either.
Grew up eating these and then making them for my family. We would just butter them up and add maple syrup when I was in my youth. My own kids and husband added peanut butter, and then syrup for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can also fill them with heartier fillings and add a variety of sauces. When the new area at Disney World’s Epcot in France opens (very soon, I hope), there will be a Creperie. Yum!
Just saying every single recipe video I watch is amazing! Always a hit!! Just made your brownie yesterday.. omg!!! Pleased even the toughest brownie critic lol. Thank you. I binge watch your videos. Been home a lot of course due to quarantine but leukemia too. So this is keeping me occupied. Only complaint is that you make me want to get up and cook hahaha ❤️❤️
I can't even imagine John being angry his charisma is beautiful. He can narrate story books.
Ye
Tip for the spreader tool; you want to keep one of the corners in the middle of the batter, and slowly drag it around in a circular motion, following the pancake until the it has the shape/thickness you want. There are a few tutorials demonstrating it, if visuals are more explanatory to you. :)
Actually you only need that tool if u have the big crêpes griddle. For a pan you just keep the mixture light and runny and move it fast it will spread and take a perfect shape and flip it with long spatula. With coated pan only need a bit of butter unless it savory buckwheat ones than butter will add moisture and taste 😊
Jupiter ALM I know lol, I rarely ever use it myself - usually just turn the pan around. I was more so just giving advice on how to use the tools, they can be quite tricky if you have no clue where to even start.
John, I just love your videos 🤦🏻♀️ I just do, they’re funny, down to earth, just perfect , thanks for the great content always! I requested your book for Christmas, mother’s day and now my birthday lol let’s hope the fam gets it right this time🤣 I love @preppykitchen!
Anything I want to make, I search for his videos and he’s already made it. I’ve made crepes before, but these will be better 😃
I completly trust you to make all your recipes work. Thank you, keep it up.
Lovely crepe recipe :) Greetings from Scotland! I love how you are so happy making these even if they are not perfect circles...The taste is what matters...just like our thought. Have a great day!
Thank you so much!!! 🏴✨
The pain i have seeing you spread batter is heavy 😂 honestly just move the batter with the pan? Its faster and as a french canadian its easier lol
Doesn’t cook as evenly that way
@@ashlynnbeitler96 your not cooking at a high enough temperature then, the crepes are supposed to be super thin
I thought the same thing, I have a better technique, just mood around the pan in a circles, they comes perfect and perfect thinness.
French Canadians be like
Crepes were our Saturday night supper treat. We sprinkled sugar and cinnamon over them or spread them with fruit jam and rolled them up. I still have my mom's cast iron crepe pan. I don't know how old that pan is but I'm 70 years old and the pan has always been around.
I honestly wait to see what he makes because he never fails to amaze me! His recipes are so so soooo good and I trust him with every video because it’s just perfection. I hope he makes a video on baked ziti!👀
I like the idea of the melted butter with a brush. Handy dandy. I’m doing it.
As a Frenchman I'm impressed. But love the enthusiasms.
I would also add a little nutmeg to the batter. Adds a lovely flavour.
For spreading you need to move it in one go it takes practice but you're doing really well!👍
Never seen you before but your kitchen is putting me in my feels
Hi ! French person here ! I looove crêpes ! In Brittany (a region of France) we have savory crêpes called “galettes”. They’re made with saracen flour and they’re delicious ! Usually paired with ham, an egg and some cheese. But you can really put any combination :)
Also, in your sweet crêpes, you can add some alcohol like rum or brandy or Grand Marnier ! For some flavor !
May I just add that butter is perfect, but salted butter ? Now that’s a whole new level of exquisite. Your crêpes will turn out incredible !
That’s all the tips I have ! Have fun !
PS: My favorite crêpes is salted butter and sugar 🤩🤤
Hi! I made some of your recipes and don’t have a favorite one because all of them are so delicious god bless you thank for sharing
Be confident 😂😂😂 I get my perfect circles by tipping the pan to move the batter around. The dowel on a stick (aka crepe spreader) may be more useful in the mini Zen garden... You're a joy to watch and learn from. Sometimes though I think your extra...
Me alegra que cada día que veo sus videos hay más suscriptores!! Él es el mejor en todo, en sus recetas, en como las explica, como nos da las medidas en tazas y en gramos y en como todo sale fabuloso 👌👌👌🌟🌟 muchos éxitos para usted estimado John 🤗🤗💐💐
I made this recipe with my daughter and it was easy and so good! Thank you!
Y grsndlodd love Nutella with their Crepes. My favorite way is fresh peaches and soft Vanilla ice cream topped with Butterscotch or Caramel sauce. Heaven!!!!😊
Fancy French name(litteraly meen pancake) and fancy tools, for what we in Europe calls ordinary pancake. I usualy use butter for the pan and only once(for the first pancake), since you already have butter in your batter.
PS: and goes with all kinds of pancake additions like honey, maple syrup ect... enjoy :)
I always love when you say “a nice vanilla” A lot of people use a NOT nice vanilla ( to save a few cents) and it’s awful. ‘NICE’ is so much better
Ikrr those extra pennies go a long way
It's not a "few cents", it's usually the most expensive ingredient of the recipe..
@@UntakenNick True, but it only takes a teaspoon or two and fake vanilla tastes awful
@@UntakenNick True but fake vanilla tastes awful .we’re only talking about a teaspoon
@@jodycarabet3703 Ok.. but you had already replied to that comment before..
Just tried this recipe today morning, and it turned out absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend trying this recipe!!
I love the idea of whipped cream as the filling; that would be marvelous, however that crepe knife looked like it would more easily tear the crepe than a large rounded spatula. Anywho, very nice stuff🥰
I love that you didn’t edit out your first! Thank you!
(Edited) Autogenerated English subtitles: hey you're watching *a* preppy kitchen where i **john canal** how to make delicious homemade dishes to share with your family and friends
Me: *o_o*
Lol
I love this guy and his positive energy! Im almost done viewing all his videos ♥️
he's so happy and positive i love him ♥
Buckwheat crêpes are also great savory option ( crêpes sarrasin ) 👌 I usually have crepe night from time to time. I just prepare both in advance... filling ingredients... And traaa dinner and dessert crowd fav . Actually it's easier to have a bit runny texture and move the pan to spread it all over it to take shape of the pan than wait till the edge are golden and flip do not rush it it will fall apart 😁
It's so preppy in here!!😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Your advice on how to make the crepes thin was so valuable. This is the first time crepes came out perfectly for me. ❤❤❤❤
I’m reminded of the time I had Nutella crepes from the Christmas market I visited in London two years ago...they were so so good!!
I liked the video very much and I love crepes. He make it sound delicious and easy, I love that he made some good points with the crepes, no too perfect circles, they are a lot better than mine
Thank you John for this delicious crepe recipe. I made half the recipe (one egg) and I had a very good breakfast. It's soft and light, just the way I like it. Just wanted to share this with you. 🙏
I am a big crepe lover.. and after watching this video, I cant stop myself going to the kitchen 😋
I have made many crepes before, but after trying a number of your recipes, I must try this one. I plan to make a crepe cake out of them, to celebrate Mardi Gras. I will fill them with pastry cream from your recipe, which I divided into 3 bowls and colored green, gold, and purple, the colors of Mardi Gras. Thank you, John, for wonderful recipes, especially your macarons with French buttercream. They are to die for!
Those crepes with whipped cream look SO professional!

Easy Garlic Sauce with same taste from shops... 😍🤤Do try it
I’ve made a handful of his recipes now and they were all very delicious. Just a heads up on this one- it was insanely scrumptious however I was only able to make 6 medium sized crepes. For a family of 4 I will double the recipe next time.
Çok lezzetli görünüyor tarif için teşekkür ederim 👍
This is the easiest crepe recipe I have ever seen! Thank u
Just love your video. Love from UK 🇬🇧❤️❤️🙏
Veteran crepe maker, you only need a pan, spatula and a bowl. You dont need anything else, just whip the batter good (dry ingredients then wet, eggs at last). Just lift the pan up and swirl it until the batter covers the pan. Then you wait until you dont see any wet batter anymore and shake it loose. Then flip
Just made this recipe with his homemade whipping cream & it's amazing!
Tried it, nailed it, loved it! As always thank you for making your recipes easy to follow and delicious 😋 ❤😊
On pancake day in England we make crepes (milk, flour, egg), no spreader or turnimg knife, you toss them over! Serve with traditionally lemon juice and white sugar, but Nutella and banana is my favourite 😍
Yum! The best crepe ever was from a crepe stand right by the Ferris wheel in Paris. It was freezing out and we waited forever, but a warm crepe filled with Nutella was everything. Love your videos.
I'm new to cooking and this will definitely be my "go to" guy! God bless!
I just made one of your recipes (brownie cookies) yesterday. Thanks soooo much for sharing!! ✨🤤
Oooo I’m JUST about to make that exact recipe from him right now lol, what a coincidence!
I like to fill mine with a cheesecake filling whipped up fluffy. Then I fold, top with fruit, chocolate and a yorgurt based dressing.
addictive and delicious

Ohmygod. Crepes are my favourite desserts! And this video was released on my birthday!
I love it when he says "I'll seeeee you in the next video" I just want him to get up to 2M !!
My daughter loves crepes 😍😍😍
I love this recipe, I’m obsessed! It’s so easy literally the easiest breakfast before I leave for work or just a midnight snack for when I’m craving something sweet. ❤️❤️❤️
