Make a Great Crepe Every Day With A Crepe Machine

If you want to know how to make a great crepe, then you have come to the right place! Crepes are an easy recipe to make, cooked in minutes and can be filled with a range of sweet and savory fillings. They are great either as a main meal or as a dessert.

You will need to start by making a basic crepe mixture. The ingredients for this mixture consist of eggs, salt, flour, milk and butter or margarine. Crepe recipes can vary but most of them include these basic ingredients in varying quantities. You will need to whisk the ingredients together until you have a smooth mixture of the correct consistency. Most recipes require the batter to rest for a few hours until it is ready for use but there are some quicker versions.

After your batter is ready then you can start making your crepes! You will need either a non-stick pan or a special crepe maker machine. A crepe maker is not essential but it can speed up your cooking time if you make a lot of crepes and it will help you to make the perfect crepe every time. If you are using a pan, oil it first. Crepe makers will come with their own instructions, which usually involve either dipping the cooking surface in batter or include a scraper that allows you to spread the batter evenly. Electric crepe makers also include a thermostat to help you achieve the correct cooking temperature every time.

Once your crepes are cooked, you can knock up some quick and easy fillings to put in them.  For sweet crepes, try chocolate spread, jam, cream and fresh fruit or a simple squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of sugar. Savory crepe fillings can be anything you can imagine – meat, vegetables, eggs, cheese – the possibilities are endless! Experiment with different cuisines from around the world and try a Mexican taco crepe or an Indian curry crepe.
Crepes make a great family breakfast with little fuss. Just cook up a stack of crepes and assemble some various fillings together – chopped fruit, syrups, spreads and jams. Your family can choose their own fillings and create their own crepes.

So, now you know how to make a great crepe, it is just a case of getting cooking and a little practice to perfect your recipe and technique. Make sure you have a decent pan or crepe maker to begin with. Crepe batter uses basic ingredients that most kitchens have around so it is easy to knock up a batch at a moment’s notice.
