Crepes (flipping made easy!)

[@PicnicPlate]

I still come back to this video every time I have a craving for crepes! The recipe always renders beautiful, flippable crepes- and the troubleshooting portion is a great resource. Thanks, Helen!

[@sdelaTB]

"Don't worry about a funny little crepe extension" has been so reassuring! Thank you! I am now in your 95% 🤗

[@candaceeking175]

I have been watching a number of crepe-making videos today and this is my favorite! So fun and encouraging. Very knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing.

[@helenrennie]

So glad you found it useful :)

[@junaid1]

Helen is a godsend. Her explanations are thorough and she presents everything with such charm and grace. Thank you Helen !

[@ZeroSumSame]

The latter part that shows common hiccups and how to deal with them sets this video apart from a lot of cooking videos that only show perfect scenarios.

[@cydh697]

You are just adorable in your instructions! Your friendliness and warmth got me to hit subscribe! I'm looking forward to cooking crepes and learning more recipes from you!

[@helenrennie]

so glad I could help. welcome to my channel.

[@clementinephokela2034]

So true. i'm also looking forward to more..

[@PicnicPlate]

It’s been several years, but I come back to this recipe every time I’m craving crepes. Thanks for your thorough instructions and lively presentation, Helen!

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

THANK YOU, Helen! Adding in the mishaps has truly put me at ease. I'll be following your directions for homemade crepes in the near future. (I'm fighting some major vertigo w/terrible tinnitus these last few days, but as soon as it subsides... crepes are definitely in my family's near future). Your videos & direction takes away the stress & has pushed back apprehension in trying new dishes I've wanted to try. Much appreciation. Bravo.

[@gloriamitchell3518]

Good demo; so happy to have found you. You are a delight to observe.

[@helenrennie]

I’m going to make a crepe cake this weekend for my parents anniversary, so this was very helpful! You just earned a new subscriber!😊

[@jaseleen9374]

Its been a year soo how did it go?

[@clairem06]

@@jaseleen9374 not great😅 it tasted really good but i put strawberries in it and it made the cake keep sliding around😭

[@berniekida6715]

I couldn't help but notice the 3 "thumbs down" on your video but I did not see any critical comments. The the threshold of difference is where the potential of learning is greatest. I wish they would have expressed why they did not like this session as long as it was constructive. Personally, I appreciate that you showed what can typically go awry and how to remedy each scenario. Cheers to you!

[@helenrennie]

There is a strong correlation between thumbs down and the quality of the video (the more useful info I put into the video, the more thumbs down I get, but also the more thumbs up). I started measuring how well I did by how many thumbs down I got :) What people don't like is often really funny (my accent, my dirty stove, math, salt, undercooked food, etc.) My poor 8 year old was nervous that someone won't like her video. I told that on the internet, someone will always not like you, but who cares (the same applies to life in general).

[@jaiguru9538]

How could anyone not like your accent? It's so musical.

[@lostinmyspace4910]

Those idiots were probably vegan, and she used milk and eggs. She is great!

[@newb781]

I once gave a thumbs down accidentally (not to one of yours) by shifting the iPad in my hands while I was viewing the video. I suspect there is a percentage of ‘thumbs down’ that are accidental.

[@SilentNoMore64]

There will always be someone that will criticize even the slightest thing. I truly feel sorry for them. Their ego must be so fragile, they need to find something...anything, to make them feel superior. In the end, they will lose because we were not put here by God for the purpose of judging each other. We were put here to love, help and encourage each other. The critical people among us, deserve our pity.

[@proklamator9641]

Great how you told the alternative storys. With all these little happiness triggers. :)

[@RowlandGosling]

Love your sincere, helpful and fun ways to teach us. Thank you for another great video Helen! I was thinking of Crepes Suzette but didn't have any Grand Marnier or oranges handy. We wanted breakfast and stat! So I grabbed a half-used jar of lemon curd and made a sauce in the same small skillet as the crepes and oila! Poured the sauce over the stack of crepes, added a little creme fraiche on the side and served it up. Tasty breakfast!

[@steadmanuhlich6734]

Very nice demo, very good narration, good examples of ways to flip and recover from imperfections. Bravo!

[@wffarrell]

#realcomment Kudos to you, Helen, for showing what can go "wrong" and how to recover. Anyone who has made crepes has experienced all that, and the mantra to repeat is, "Don't Panic!"

[@XavierKatzone]

Made this recipe several times and LOVE IT! For the orange sauce (separate video), I just tried using very finely diced KUMQUATS in lieu of orange zest today and I can't recommend it enough! Kumquats taste more like oranges than oranges, and the bright, tart orange flavor they add to the sauce is far more complex than the variable flavor of zest. TRY IT if you can find them!

[@lauraellen189]

I am craving crepes! Thanks for the tips. I practiced flipping the other day with a flour tortilla 😊

[@pickledone9698]

Madame moiselle you win the Best crepe recipe. I thought mine was easy,well it is but the presentation of these crepes win. Thankyou thankyou thankyou Helen.

[@filo5127]

Great vido and explanations

[@donaldoutdoors]

I've been binge watching your channel for a few days now. Been on a water fast and had to wait until I could eat 'real' food again - and I start out with your crepes and 'burnt' caramel sauce! LOL But I have to let you know that THIS is the best crepe recipe that I have ever tried! Not that I've tried hundreds of them, but enough to know that they're not like the ones I've had in European Creperies (I live in the US). These are soft, supple and taste just right! I even used the gram measurements to cut the recipe in thirds since it's just me (and to only use 1 egg instead of halving the recipe and having to try 1.5 eggs [had to figure out 2/3 tsp of salt/sugar - found out to use a 'sort-of' heaping 1/4 tsp to get 1/3 tsp so I used two heaping 1/4 tsp of both DCK salt and sugar]) Came out beautiful! A new recipe added to my recipe 'book'! Thank you so much!

[@bettykimeu2838]

I have tried making crepes forever!!!! They look so delish..Thank you so much Hellen

[@HadassahSikani]

Your accent is beautiful. Have you considered voiceovers? For the batter, I like to blend everything in my vitamix . Voila!

[@jcmazrizona]

Helen, Thank you so much for sharing and reminding me to bring out my inner Julia Childs. Today was my first crepe brunch.. Amazing!

[@waynethebarber1095]

Great video! You told me everything I need to know about making crepes. The problem tips were great too. I now have a better handle on making crepes. Thanks for all you do........

[@rogerhughes9033]

Awesomely good video with thorough instructions for all those not-quite-perfect moments. It was the first video of yours I watched, and I liked it so much I immediately subscribed to your channel! ❤ 😊

[@rare1909]

I've watched a few tutorials on how to make crepes and so far this seems to be the most easiest or simplest way to make them as well as looking the most tastiest... thanks

[@minoz394]

Great teacher and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@purdunetae2995]

Great video and you are an amazing cook. Some of us are used to different tools. For me it's my baby smooth iron skillet and my fingers. Just as non stick and no chemicals other then iron and carbon! I also bring out my inner Julia Child and rub butter on the pan and the top of each one that hits the stack. Love your videos!

I cheat, using a second frying pan but I think Ill try and find my inner chef, great to see someone dealing with the almost fails!

[@shuaaalfalasi8124]

Thank you Helen ,you make it look soooooo easy ,sure trying it the very next day 👍🏻

[@stewiegriffin12341]

The fact that she made all those errors on purpose (I assume) just to demonstrate what to do shows how skilled she is.

[@forabug594]

Can't wait for the next video! My Nonna would make me crepes when I was little. Then she taught me and we still do them together for breakfast when I come home from college! You have a wonderful lesson for making crepes! I had to figure out all of those tips and tricks on my own when I was young. Now I can make them with my eyes closed, almost!

[@helenrennie]

+forabug594 I am in the same boat. My Mom always made excellent crepes and I had to learn through trial and error how to flip them. Once you get it, it's like riding a bike :)

[@Cookit-ec1tn]

I don't seem to have much luck with making crepe's, hopefully your tips will help. Thank you!

[@juliabmangaliag1988]

Very good video and fun to watch. Voice is lovely 😊

[@vaishalijha4260]

This is such a good recipe and tutorial. Even a terrible cook like me was able to follow it and not burn my house down. Although, there was a bit too much salt for my liking, but I can always fix that!

[@ArchLinuxTux]

I loved the "this might be this looks like with out editing" then I don't feel so bad knowing that what I experience actually happens to those with more experience too.

[@i_n_sist8641]

[@jaimelegaspi3597]

I love.your demo and.i think.i can use these crepes as a wrapper for fresh spring rolls instead of the normal wrapper.

[@helenrennie]

you can certainly try, but I don't think that would work too well. crepes need to be hot to taste good. there is no such thing as a good cold crepe. while the fresh spring rolls are normally served chilled.

[@Jo-kx8le]

I just love your accent,thank you lovely mama

[@leonardmilcin7798]

I have been flipping crepes and other types of pancakes just fine. But recently I switched to a large, heavy carbon steel pan. It browns beautifully and gives me much faster, more predictable and uniform results at the cost of it being too heavy to flip. So if you have flip anxiety you can just skip it and buy a carbon steel pan. Although I find flipping to be very useful ability for a bunch of other stuff. I can't imagine sauteing without flipping and even when I make liquid sauce sometimes I just don't bother mixing it with a spoon or spatula and just flip it couple of times to immediately go back to doing something else.

[@Jack_Rivet]

Tried it for the first time with a big 12 inch sauté pan a few weeks ago, heavy but they still turned out great! Then I bought a crêpe pan and it made it so much easier. Great video! Can you make one on how to make a soufflé? Especially a breakfast soufflé.

[@helenrennie]

so glad your crepes turned out great. souffle -- what a great idea! I'll put it on my list.

[@Asthamedos]

Thank you so much for your wonderful video, Helen! I've actually made several successful batches following your instructions so now I'm feeling brave. I was wondering what would happen if I completely replaced the water with milk, how would that change the crepes?

[@helenrennie]

give it a go with all milk. nothing terrible will happen. my best guess is that they'll be a bit firmer.

[@daledude66]

How would using cake flour affect the crepes? I usually have some in the kitchen for baking. I love how you showed the common flipping mishaps btw!

[@helenrennie]

+Dale S My gut tells me no cake flour. Crepe batter is so thin, it needs some structure. All-purpose works great. But if you want to try it with cake flour, let me know how it goes.

[@susanoconnor7299]

Cake four is different. You might change how much flour you put in.

[@don1985don]

helen what should i do if i want the crepe thicker almost like a pancake thats not real thick and not thin

What can You use instead of vegetable oil?

Wonderful video. I have a Swedish pancake recipe that is identical to a French crepe. I have some different ideas. I’m going to subscribe.. mistakes are delicious!!

[@ArchLinuxTux]

@Helen is it possible to get a crepe pan that isn't a unitasker? Or is this one of those unitaskers that you must accept?

[@helenrennie]

you can use a normal non-stick pan. you can need a crepe pan.

[@ArchLinuxTux]

@@helenrennie than you, all I have is cast iron skillets can it be done on medium heat to afford a few seconds t swirl , using both hands( I'm thinking of 12" skillet, also zu real use flipping a crepe without a spachula would be near impossible in cast iron that suze :-) )
