RECIPE: FRENCH CREPES
1 1/4 cups milk (300 ml)
3/4 cup all purpose flour (175 ml)
pinch salt
2 tsp. sugar (10 ml), optional
3 eggs, beaten with a whisk
2 TBsp. melted butter (25 ml)
Combine the milk with sifted flour in a medium bowl. Whisk to blend all the flour in. Add sugar, if using, and salt. Add the beaten eggs and whisk until batter is smooth. Strain if desired. Batter should resemble loose cream. If making crepes, same day, let rest in fridge for 30 minutes. Then remove and add melted butter. Note, if you refrigerate batter for longer, you need to add butter before chilling or it will not blend with mixture.
Lightly butter an 8 inch crepe pan over medium high heat. Using a paper towel , wipe some melted butter over entire pan. Pour 2 Tbsp. (25 ml) batter into the top of pan and swirl around so batter reaches the outer edges of pan evenly. Cook 1st side for 50 seconds - 1 minute.. Flip and cook other side for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
Makes about 16 crepes

Ok, You are never coming out of quarantine. You are grounded for Life and you have to cook for us everyday, lol
MaryAnne Deering challenge accepted Hah. Thanks for watching
All of us from former Yugoslavia used to eat lots of crepes in our childhood and lifetime. It was the main comfort food for us and still is. Thank you for bringing the old school recipe and technique. I love your cheerful and amazing cooking.
My pleasure ! I have travelled extensively through former Yugoslavia and the LOVE of crepes is undeniable.
I made these today! Love this recipe, simple. I heated up the crepe pan before I added the melted butter and it was good to go . Your video was exemplary, thank you
@@kathypridham4417 thank you much ! They are , as you know , a favourite in our house
I grew up on the German version that was made into a savoury soup. Welcome back Ms. Cushing.
Haggus Lividus thank you !
You are great! I like your style and recipes, and you're Greek :) I am from Serbia and I love Greece and Greek people! You are also one beautiful lady! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you ! Hvala... we love Serbian people too. . And I married one. Glad you are enjoying my videos
YES !!! Thank you for coming back - you were missed. You're direction is easy to follow and you follow up the questions. You are appreciated.
I like that salt comment about not tasting it, but it bringing everything up just a bit. I have high blood pressure and have to be careful with salt - if I omitted the salt, would it ruin the crape? I think about this too when I want to make breads... I'm worried it will be too bland and a waste of time.
I'm so happy to see a new video from you, Christine! I made your Bolognese the other day and, as always, it was incredible. Please keep posting, you're a gem!
I'm so happy to hear you made my Bolognese , as it truly is so close to my heart. Thank you for your support

I’m new here, I just discovered your UA-cam channel about a month ago. Absolutely incredible recipes & your sense of humour is Infectious.
I watched this particular episode four times and couldn’t stop laughing, your husband must have a great appetite.
I did made them tonight & the most difficult part about making them was waiting for 30 minutes before adding the butter and cooking them up but they turned out absolutely incredible. Something to be said about raspberries and chocolate in a crepe, mmmmm !
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much and welcome to my kitchen. Oh when crepes are anywhere in the kitchen , he is in them ! Haha.
I just made these for dinner!!! OMG, they are amazing!!! I made the nutella and banana, and took fresh strawberries and made compote, with sweetened cream cheese smeared on.

When I crave cake that’s what I make it ❤️
You are truly a real chef! I love watching all your videos. I love your personality! I aspire to cook like you! Thank you for all the videos. I want to try every single one.
That is amazing ! Thank you and see you in the kitchen
I like your simple crepe recipe. No water, no extracts, just basic ingredients. I'll try it. I'm sure the crepes will be light and flavourful. Thanks. JASA
They are indeed both light and flavourful ! Thank you for watching and have a great holiday season.
@@ChristineCushing You have a good Xmas too. Mine will be fine because I do most of the cooking and MY spouse will not likely be whining at me every hour on the hour to make crepes. Unless there is something in your version that evinces this response. You better tell me now if there is. I don't want your fate! . JASA
These crepes are so good! but SO GOOD! that I could not stop eating them. So, Yummy! Oh boy, my sugar is so high and I am careless. :) Thank you, so, much for sharing this great and easy recipe for life. I order my crepe pan from Williams Sonoma, and my small griddle as well.
I really enjoy cooking when I have a chance! :) I love your stories like your French teacher, ha, ha, ha, scary huh? I am a Teacher as well. Sometimes we use strategies to call the student's attention. I am sure you learned a lot from her. Have a great day! :)
Thank you so much ! I'm so glad you love the crepes. Yes, it is hard to not eat them all.
I followed your video and recipe this morning to make Crepes and they came out so good. My family loves them! Thank you for sharing!
How great to hear that. I am due for a batch soon.
I will say in line with the other commentators that you were missed - but you returned in style!
When you watch a video like this - you always hope to get some pointers or even to learn a brand new dish. I took away happily a few pointers with regards to the process - and some new ideas with fillings!
Crepes are close to my heart, as I am hailing from Iceland where crepes (pönnukökur) is a bit of a religion and the hallmark of a good old school Icelandic cook is the quality of his/hers creps. We pride ourself in the seasoning of our special crepe pans (pönnukökupönnur) of which you should have at least 3 or 4. Making crepes in Iceland is not just a culinary art, traditionally every four years for the last 100 years competitions (as a part of an athletic tournament no less) have been held in making crepes with regards to quality and quantity - with 4 pans used at the same time!
Please carry on the good work - looking forward to your next video.
Oh wow Bjorn thank you for sharing these amazing crepe ( ponnukokur) traditions from you homeland. The world of food is so incredible and I have to say I was not familiar with the Icelandic love of crepes. Thanks for watching and glad I could inspire with some new techniques. I'll see you in the kitchen
@@ChristineCushing Now tried your recipe and it was a great success - so has been repeated a few times already. Like the division into the slurry and eggs! Thanks - and understand your husband!
Mouth watering. Can't wait to try. Thank you, Christine, and Merry Christmas!
I've never tried to make creeps before. I absolutely LOVE them. You've inspired me. I'm going to give it at try. Thsnk you😍
THANK YOU! This inspires me to get back to making crêpes. First I’ll have to re-season my pan (Mauviel) since I managed to mess it up several months ago. I’ve used flax oil, but if you have a better suggestion, I’m all over that. 😚
Best crepe recipe! Thank You Christine!😀
You are most welcome
I can't wait to make these!! Thank you for sharing all your secrets!!👏👏👏🙂
With pleasure !
Very professional .
you're back! your cooking vidoes are the best
Thank you so much! It's good to be back
Yaaasss!! Perfect timing Christine! We'll be having it tomorrow a.m. 💕
Oh , that is my kind of Saturday morning ! Thanks for watching
Hi 👋 😀👍 @ Christine these beautiful French crepes are so delicious they soft smooth and silky melt in your mouth beautiful crepes thank you so much for sharing the beautiful recipe and the beautiful video @ Christine's My Favourite Recipes😋😋👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️
Hi Christine thank you so much for the beautiful red heart and thank you so much for enjoying my messages and comments at Christine's My Favourite Recipes 👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️
Making your AMAZON crepes again this morning. Love them.
I haven't had them in ages but the huge crepes, made on those giant cast iron griddles and filled to order, are amazing. After having way too many while traveling, I wondered if I could shoe horn one into my studio apartment kitchen.
Yes, I love those huge crepes also when they well made ! It could be your ' fireplace' LOL Thanks for watching
@@ChristineCushing BTW, my exgf used to eat jianbing for breakfast when she worked in China for a year. Basically a huge crepe, usually filled with eggs, chopped scallions, a crispy fried wafer almost like a tostada, and hoisin sauce. She'd make them when we had people over for brunch.
@@tiacho2893 Scallion pancakes are so, so good. I make them as well when the mood strikes!
I used to watch your show!!! HI CHRISTINE!!!!! I saw you on here, just now and was so excited to see you again!! Subbed!!!
So glad you found me here. Thanks for the Sub!
Thank you! Enjoyed your video & the details make all the difference.
Many thanks. We do live in a time where everything is so surface so I appreciate that you appreciate the details.
Thank you for the slurry trick! 🤗👌🙏
Wow, these look amazing, I've never added melted butter to my crepe batter, game changer! (darn you Betty Crocker cookbook for not telling me!)
Haha ! Fun fact, we have friend that call me Betty Crocker - code name. Thank you
Hi Christine, I have been making crepes throughout most of my life with various degrees of success by just mixing the basic ingredients together until I get a consistency that feels right. Tonight however, I am making your recipe and l'm looking forward to some delicious crepes. I like mine using two kinds of jams (one with raspberry and the other with apricot), sprinkle the juice of an orange before folding or rolling, top up with the zest of an orange and dusting of icing sugar ... yummm!!! And whenever the mood strikes, I also use them on savoury recipes. Thank you for another great video.
My pleasure ! I hope you enjoyed them.
@@ChristineCushing Yes and thank you. As a matter of fact, they were awesome and had enough batter for two nights. So good :) Next week, I will use it again to make my savoury recipe with swiss chard & bechamel sauce ... THANK YOU.
Looks sooo yummy
Thank you from Saskatoon
This recipe and method rocks !!!!
Thank you !
Yummmmmy.....breakfast.....
Looks amazing!
Thank you
I bought the pan just so I can flip my crepes easier. Love how it heats up so fast compared to the non-stick pan. Please show us how to make the cherry cream cheese filling! It sounds delicious! 😋😋
Did you find that cheese filling recipe yet?
Sherrie pierracos got a reply with the ingredients.
@@goldiesendrowitz I did! See other comment of where to look. I used powered sugar in the mix. I just asked if she does because she just put sugar.
@@susanhenry6834 Thank you
And they love each other!
Love your videos Christine! Thank you for this one. I love to make Manicotti with crepes and I haven't done it in a million years. This might have inspired me!
Thank you very much! Oh yes, the crepe manicotti are beautiful! Although my husband would start a revolution if I were to make them.
MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing haha! 😂
Love making crêpes françaises. Thank you for sharing your recipe, I will try your version! 😎🤗
Thank you. I can make these fast enough it seems in our house !
MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing me too! A staple in our house! Love all your shows! 🤗
Thank you for teaching me how to make such yummy crepes. My first one didn’t look so good, but I persevered. By the 3rd crepe it became easier and almost effortless to make. For all of you making for the first time: follow Christines instruction to the letter, and you will be successful.
That is amazing ! I'm glad you persevered to get to that 3rd crepe and on.
As for the filling, crushed walnuts mixed with a bit of sugar has also a great taste!
You inspire me!! Don’t stop! ❤️❤️❤️
Jess CMJ thank you. ! I will do my best . Keep watching there’s more to come
THANK YOU for the recipe below!! So many direct to another page...I skip those videos!
You are so welcome!
I can’t wait to try these crepes this weekend! They look so yummy! I was looking for the sweetened creme cheese and cherries recipe filling if you have it somewhere. I couldn’t find it. I will try all of them. Thank you Christine!
Thank you for pointing it out about the filling recipes. I will add them to the crepes. Hope you try them. Sooo fantastic !
@@ChristineCushing I will for sure!!! Thank you!!
I have been trying to master french crepes by executing almost every single youtube recipe available in english. However, it is hard to find consistency across the recipes in terms of measuring ingredients as they vary widely in volume. I have to say I got one of the best results with this recipe from Christine Crushing. The crepes are light yet savory with the right amount of fat. I really enjoyed the end result. BTW - my favorite recipe is crepe suzete flambé
That is fantastic to hear ! I have been working these crepes for years to get them just right. I also Love crepe Suzettes . Thanks !
You know what? So do i. In my province here in Quebec, many people make the mistake to call pancakes "crêpes". Not me! Thanks Mrs Cushing. By the way, I use the same kind of pan as yours.My mother was using a few drops of water to check if the temp was OK.
I use the same pan. I have not missed having a teflon pan for more than a decade. I found early on that preheating the pan solves a lot of the sticking problems people complain about.
Great video! Delicious crepes! Surprised to see that old school pan work with portable induction hot plate. Looking at getting a portable induction hot plate!
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos! Very entertaining and you are very fun to watch 👍
Thanks you so much.
A. D. Thank you so much !
Hi, Christine! How did you make the cheese filling?
Yummy
I made your crepes finally. My comment back to you about not wanting to suffer your fate of a spouse bullying to have them weekly has come home to haunt me. For indeed, she wants them once a week! I now don't know whether to thank you or curse my fate at being such a good cook. Terrible choice. JASA
ahaha ! I can totally relate. I will be time for me to make a batch I'm sure
I'll try to do it now thanks for posting 💖
Hi Christine, thank you for this great video. very clear description and recipe. I would like to make salted crepes (may be with green onions). can you please give a recipe.
You can absolutely use this crepes batter for savoury crepes also. I would just add a 1//2 tsp more salt and chopped green onions. I hope this helps !
That's an interesting tip mixing milk into flour before adding anything else, I found this mixture is always a tiny bit lumpy no matter how much we stir
The problem is adding all the milk at once. Doing a bit at a time while whisking will take care of the lumps.
French Sweet Crepes is the perfect sweet beginning to a French Brunch and the perfect sweet ending to a French Dinner. 😤😤😤
Your awesome! Loveeee you!!’ ❤❤❤
Thanks so much !
Beautiful !!
For the savoury filling, mushrooms, with thyme and in creme fresh are great too.
Oh I love the savoury fillings also !
@@ChristineCushing Also stuff them with cooked and lightly sauteed Swiss chard, roll, line them up next to one another & place in a rectangular baking dish and top up with a bechamel sauce with cheese & bake until bubbling. So, so good!
i love the crepe suzette! maybe you could make a video how to make this!! :)
Thank you ! I also love the Crepes Suzettes. Thank you for the great welcome back.
I wish you had given us your recipe for the cherry cheesecake filling.
Looks so amazing. I use a very similar recipe when I make fresh ricotta manicotti.
Another mouth watering preparation chef! 👍🎖️
Please do butter croissants and classic scones. I love your recipes ❤
Yum Yum
Χαιρετισμούς από την Ελλάδα!!!! 🇬🇷
Euxaristo! 🇬🇷😍
Hi Christine, They all look pretty darned good! You mentioned the Nutella & bananas but what were the other two fillings? Are the cherries mixed with liquor or anything else?
Thanks for watching. The oranges were a quick version of Suzettes, with the orange segments, butter and zest . The cherries were just sour cherries, sugar and a touch of cornstarch. The cream cheese part is cream cheese, 35 % cream, vanilla and sugar. I hope this helps .
@@ChristineCushing was that powered sugar? I use that and so yummy!
UR Amazing Christine !! Laszlo Montreal
I use cast iron pan, works great for me. Once it’s get hot keeps it.
You’re the best ❤️💋💋
Thanks so much
So glad I stumbled across your site!
Thank you !
Thank you so beautiful ❤
all time favorite in my house===nutella
that one is tough to beat for sure.
Thanks for the explanation. In my opinion give the amount of ingredients as you cook will help people.
Very impressive I love crepes can u give the right measurements for everything please.
How much flour and how much milk in the recipe please
Chef Christine, what do you think about this filling, plum jam/butter and some finely ground walnuts:)
Bosko Scepanovic now that sounds good as long as you don’t go too heavy in walnuts !
What brand is your Carbon Steel Pan, by the way? Thanks..
I'm so glad you're back, Christine!!!
Nora Ubilla many thanks. I’ve been working on a new Food Network show . I have more video slotted to shoot soon. Stay tuned
Dear Christian ,I'm having problems with crepe pan.
Please recommend me the best pan for crepes.
Thank you and God bless you.
Lol... Looks good.....
Making this today!
@Johanson Smith great!
How did you make the creamy filling for the cherry, Please
I know right. Looks like fluffy cream cheese, and those cherries look delicious too.
I usually use weight instead of volume when baking so when making your crepe recipe I went right to the weights shown. For the 3/4 cup of flour equivalent you show 175 ml. Since ml is a liquid measurement, did you mean 90 grams?
