Crepes. EDC Book. For a thin crepe, these are excellent.Made 1/2 mix, 12, 15 cm. crepes.

Thanks for the review Chookie. I will have to try them. :)
-
Thanks Chookie - good to hear
-
yep, we love them too - perfect!
they are also excellent with gluten free flour instead :)

This is a good recipe, nice and thin how I like them. Generally I halve the recipe and it makes a good breakfast for myself & 2 kids. I love with berries, lemon juice & brown sugar, my 11yo has stawberry jam & walnuts, and my 8yo have golden syrup. Today I only had 1 egg so replaced 40% of the plain flour with chickpea flour and they were still perfect.
-
Vivaroo, glad you like them. Love the toppings you and kidletts add.
-
This is our favorite crepe recipe also. I normally make half the mixture.
-
Wonder, good to know. There are so many crepe recipes about, it is hard to know which one to use. I stick with this one as I have always found it good. I made 50+ for an Elderly citizens lunch and filled them with apple and berry, they were re heated for their lunch , and they loved them.

try adding browned butter next time to the batter it gives a very nice taste :)
-
Thanks Blused, will do.
-
I made the batter for these then forgot about them for a couple of days. I stirred everything back through and cooked them anyway and they were beautiful. I actually cooked them at night and simply reheated for brekkie. My kids love them and ask for them regularly. We have them with a generous smear of Tenina's Strawberry Jam. I'm looking forward to using them in a savoury dish too. 5/5 from us.
-
Brumington, glad the kids liked them.
-
These are still a family favourite for us and probably my most used recipe from any cook book, tastes exactly how my Dad used to make them when I was a kid. The reheat well and like Brumington has said if you forget the mixture or have some left over it's still great a few days later.

Hi all. I have the new EDC but I was wondering how many eggs are listed in the ingredients in the old EDC please? The new EDC says 4 eggs, but this just seemed like a lot of egg. After my Creme Brulee disaster I didn't want the pancakes to taste too eggy.
-
It also says 4 Chocolatte. Perhaps you'd like to try the recipe I used here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3601.0) as it only has 2.
-
Thanks for that Judy. I'm trying to replicate my MIL's crepes but she doesn't measure quantities. The only thing I know is that it uses 2 eggs. Will try your quantities for flour and milk.
-
I thought the same thing chocolatte and I was trying to replicate the taste and texture of my dad's creeps and found this perfect so just don't think about the quantities of eggs, it does make a lot of crepes.
-
I made these crepes today for the first time (first attempt at crepes too). Really easy recipe and produced an excellent result. Very easy to get them even and thin. I used 40g of ghee rather than 40g of oil. Did not need any lubrication in the pan either. We just had them with lemon and caster sugar. Will definitely make them again.
-
I've now made these many times and the recipe always works perfectly. The batter keeps well in the fridge too.
For thin crepes good for eating as they are cooked I use 1/4 cup of batter per crepe in a 20cm crepe pan. For slightly thicker crepes good for keeping and wrapping arounds things I use 1/3 cup in the same size crepe pan. I get 12 crepes from the full recipe using 1/3 cup of batter per crepe.
Discovered a very easy dessert using these crepes that keeps at least 24 hours in the fridge:
ingredients
Cooked crepes (one per serve)
2 strawberries per serve
3 slices mango per serve
2 teaspoons lemon curd per serve (I make a half quantity of Tenina's from FFS)
1 teaspoon double cream per serve
method
For each serve put one teaspoon of lemon butter and one teaspoon of double cream in the centre then swirl these together to make a rectangle about 4cm wide and 10cm long in the middle of the crepe. Put a slice of mango down each long side of the cream and lemon butter mix and then three strawberry halves down the middle. Then roll up the crepe and put into a dish with the ends down. You can stack the rolled crepes on top of each other and they will be fine. Chop the remaining fruit into a smallish dice and mix it together.
To serve, put a teaspoon of lemon butter on top of each crepe then evenly distribute the chopped fruit on top of the crepes.
