Crepe maker

[Madeleine]

Got the crepe maker! Had to email Jon for a good recipe. Still getting the hang of making them round and insuring they are cooked. Haven't tried to fill them yet.
This is the first time we've pretested a recipe and glad we did. What a debacle!.

I find crepe batter does better rested. Even overnight in the fridge. If that isn't doable, mix it first and let it mellow while you do other stuff. The longer, the better. Hope you have a blast with the new toy!
.

Yes, we let the batter take a mini vacation before using. Now trying to come up with fillings and perfecting the folding technique.
I was told to go away with the camera. Dh won't be on Chopped anytime soon. ;-)

Oh I have tons of recipes for crepes.I used to make them all the time.
Are you looking for sweet or savory. You can do so much with them. Just do a google and you will find plenty! What kind of crepe maker did you finally get?

Yes, she was told that the batter needs to rest.

Both kinds.
We got the Krampouz. It had the best ratings for the best price. Was not getting the $900 professional model the gal down the street has.

Made crepes this morning...they have been a consistent hit. I do them very simply, using the electric crepe maker that I mentioned in a previous post, but I use the pan part rather than the "dip" side. While one was cooking I filled the one just off the maker with blueberry jam, folded it in 1/4ths dotted the plate and swirled with blueberry syrup and sprinkled with fresh blueberries. I keep strawberry and raspberry syrup in the freezer as well (in cubes) and just vary the jam filling accordingly. Give them a dusting of powdered sugar, add some link sausage and Voila! Guests lick their plates clean.
The best part is that the crepes store so well between wax paper in the refrigerator. I can make a double batch for Sunday breakfast and serve the rest through the week as needed. Let me know if you want the recipe. You can e-mail me Maddie. Easy peasy.

I always went on a crepe making frenzy. Let them cool. Put a piece of wax paper between each and put into a round cake pan and cover and freeze. Then you can just take out what you need and they thaw almost immediately. Simple

Great idea about the cake pan! That gives us a size to shoot for.

Wax paper works best, but if you can't get it, parchment paper works well.

Love crepes -- I mix ricotta, mascarpone & cream cheese together with vanilla, powdered sugar and lemon zest. Adjust sweetness depending on what you're topping it with. I then spoon my homemade wild blueberry sauce over them and serve with sausage. I have actually seen a guest lick the plate they're so good. Also love to fill them with a mixture of spiced apples and pears that I cover with a cinnamon sauce in the fall (although it's good anytime of year).

I'll make you some but I won't be joining you. Over the past 9 years I've eaten too many of my great breakfasts that I now need to lose 30lbs. But I promise to make them extra good, I love when people enjoy my food.

Altho, will say I have lost 10 lbs in the past 2 months but you don't want to be sick like I am to accomplish that. ;-)

This original conversation and Momma Smurfs' suggestions inspired me to try savory crepes. They turned out AMAZING! After we served all the guests we got to try one and our jaws dropped at how good they were. So relieved and thrilled! I made the crepes with salt & pepper instead of vanilla & sugar. Then also added finely chopped chives to the batter. Stuffed with sharp cheddar cheese, crispy hash browns, scrambled eggs, sauteed ham & onion, rolled up with hollandaise sauce over top. Yowza!
Funny thing - I did not know how much filling to make and just did a guesstimate. Holy cow I threw alot away. You can't put much of each thing in there if you still want to be able to roll it up. Might make this more often just because it uses much less eggs & hashbrowns than if I put them individually on the plate.

haha... you can see the hole in it. That's why we got to try it - this was a reject

Madeleine, enjoy the ice cream maker - it's really a lot of fun. I'd also recommend treating yourself to David Lebovitz's Perfect Scoop cookbook....the chocolate ice cream recipe alone is worth the cost of the book..

I would also recommend reading his book about his first year in Paris. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED reading it. Also, I so want a crepe maker now. ( PS. 2 days away from our new hotel in the Yucatan, Mexico www.beachapartmentschelem.com website is a work in progress fyi)

That sounds like what DH wants to try to do. I'll tell him about this. (And the sweet one, too!)
