Once we lived within the U.S. I used to make crêpes. I had a particular pan that appeared like an inverted skillet. I dipped the rounded aspect right into a plate of batter, then flipped the pan over to place it on the burner. When the crêpe was carried out I flipped it over once more and it fell off the pan.
It was straightforward.
Now we reside in France.
The French can be appalled at such a way.
Right here I’ve a big, flat crêpe pan with a correct wood spreader. One pours within the applicable quantity of batter and punctiliously spreads it.
I’ve the right tools….. I’ve by no means made crêpes right here.
However I ran throughout this concept in an Italian cookbook. The recipe was for ‘noodles’ however why not ‘crêpes’?
These are rather a lot simpler and, in case you are in search of a low-carb different, they’re excellent.
