6 Top Tips For Making Great Crepes Recipes

Make Better French Toast & Pancakes Too With These Tips

1. Use a wire whisk to stir the batter. Crepe and galette batter should be stirred until smooth. 


2. All batter types should stand (or rest) for at least an hour, so plan ahead.

This resting period will allow your pancakes to be lighter and fluffier.

3. As always having the right tools will result in a better product, so that is why it is very important to use a good skillet or fry pan.

What makes a good skillet for crepes and galettes?

A heavy-bottomed stainless steel pan or a good quality non-stick pan with rounded corners that the batter can be swirled around in, will produce a thin, evenly browned, fluted edged crepe.

4. Heat you pan slowly until it reaches a hot temperature around 200°C /400°F. Butter and then quickly pour in your batter. Crepes especially need to be cooked hot and quick or they may turn out rubbery if cooked too slow.


5. Flipping the pancake.

It is ready to flip when the edges start to lift.

Gently take your spatula and slip it under the galette taking it underneath and across your galette to lift it so that it can be turned.

6. Any leftover crepes can be frozen and reheated at another time.

Or make them intentionally with the idea to freeze them for later use.

Layer cooled crepes with clear wrap between them, then place the stack of pancakes in a plastic bag or wrap in foil, then it can be placed in the freezer as is or in a container to keep them from getting damaged in the shuffle.


Voila! Superbly made crepes.
