Overview

Crêpes are delicious, can be topped or filled as desired and are also quick to make. They consist of a simple dough consisting of a few ingredients and can be topped with sweet or savory after preparation. In this country, people like to roll up the thin pancakes after they have been spread with nut nougat cream or refined with a sugar and cinnamon mixture. But the savory version with cheese or ham is also popular. A well-known variation is the delicious Crêpe Suzette, which is soaked in the wonderful juice of fresh oranges or orange liqueur.

Our favorite recipe for sugar-free crêpes

It's not enough to buy a good crêpes maker. You also need a good batter for delicious crepes. We have selected a simple basic recipe for you. For about nine thin pancakes you will need:

Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Now you need to make a small hollow in the middle and add both eggs to the flour. Mix the ingredients with a whisk. Next, combine the milk and water and add the liquid to the bowl in portions while continuing to mix the batter. When there is no more liquid, the batter should be free of lumps. Now melt all the butter. Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to the batter, and use the rest to brush your pan or baking sheet.

Important questions about crêpes makers

Does my crêpes maker need a non-stick coating?

A non-stick coating has three advantages in a crêpes maker: Firstly, the finished dough does not stick to the baking plates, which is why the thin crêpes can be easily turned over and removed from the baking plate without cracks. Second, non-stick baking surfaces are much quicker and easier to clean. And thirdly, low-fat baking is possible on coated baking plates: Less fat is required, which is normally used to be able to easily remove the finished pancakes from the baking plate.

What can you prepare with a crêpes maker?

A crêpes maker is usually not only suitable for sweet and savory pancakes, but also for other delicacies. Among other things, you can bake fluffy pancakes, which are particularly popular in the USA. But omelettes can also be prepared without any problems and refined with cheese, ham or mushrooms and spinach, for example. And the next time you want to have a burrito for lunch, you can even make the tortillas on your crepe maker. The hot baking plate is also often used for other flatbread recipes.

How does a crepes maker work?

A crêpes maker for the home kitchen is not very different from the models that are used at fairs and Christmas market stalls. In terms of structure, each crêpes maker has a large flat baking plate that can be heated to a high temperature. It serves as a base for the dough that is dribbled onto the plate. To ensure that the crêpes are evenly thin at the end, the batter, which is still liquid, is spread evenly on the hotplate with a batter spreader. You can use a spatula to turn, fold or roll the crêpes and simply remove them from the baking plate. Both accessories are usually already included in the set together with the crêpes maker.
