Jacques teaches us how to make the crêpes he once had as a child, and which he know makes for his grandchildren. According to Jacques, there is nothing easier than making crêpes. You can serve them with jam inside or something savory, like ham or cheese. Easy and delicious.

The best memories from my childhood was when my grandmother made me crepes with ice cream and banana. My mother was very strict and I always had to eat her healthy vegetarian food( she was Adventist) , but when I was at my grandmother she smothered me with cakes and sweets, meat dishes that was so good, and she was so full of love and kindness, and not religious . I miss her so much.

@@joaquimrabinovitch I was surprised since Julia Child always said to refrigerate the batter to let the flour completely hydrate, but she was also making a large amount of batter. Maybe with the small amount adding only a little of the liquid to start mixes it thoroughly enough that you don't have to wait. They certainly looked wonderful!

I just made crepes from this recipe and it’s the *first* time my crepes came out looking and tasting like crepes instead of weird pancakes. Jacques does a great job of explaining every step of the way. Rolling and folding really helps when they come out an irregular shape too lol Also making sure the prettier side is the one that shows on the plate.

'Pancake Tuesday' or 'Shrove Tuesday' signaled the eve of the Lent Fast back in the Old Sod. As a child I remember my Mother using this exact same recipe for Crepes/Pancakes. I couldn't figure out why, years later, my crepes were so ragged - until I saw Monsieur Pepin in this video. I kept pouring the batter into the center - Doh! My Mom used to juice a couple of lemons and an orange and put the juice in a saucepan with a little butter and some sugar. Heat it until the butter melted and the sugar dissolved - spoon over each crepe and roll them up. Deelicious!

@jdane2277 2 жыл бұрын

My mom used this recipe and made crepes a lot. One of her recipes was to fill them with ricotta and egg and mozzarella and make manicotti. They were heavenly. She loved watching Jacques Pepin and Julia Child when we were growing up --lucky us!

In Eastern Block countries people also make savoury Crepes. With cheese/ham, minced meat, creamy mushrooms etc. They are really tasty, try it out. Leave one side slightly under cooked, let them rest and go cold. Once they have set, fill the centre with whatever you want (cheese for example), wrap them up from all 4 sides and put them in a medium heated pan. Fry until golden, but dont put the temperature too high, they will burn on the outside and cheese or whatever you've put in the middle will not melt/warm up.
