I learned this at 15 when I was a trainee chef in The Scaramouche, Glasgow. Great video, and gave me good memories. Thank you

[@KevinPeffley]

This is probably the best instruction video for making crepes. I used it today, and everything came out great. And, yes, this seems to be the common practice for making crepes in France. My French girlfriend and I walked through it together, and I asked her at each step, do you do it like this, and she said, Qui, comme ça, every time. Thank you.

[@peteroc134]

The best French crepe recipe. Fail proof. No lumps. Thank you!!!

This is an awesome recipe! It is a great technique to not get any lumps. I taught this to my two sons. They love crepes, my whole family does! I would not change a thing, and thank you so much!

[@socosmic1]

I have made crepes for years but not one recipe told me to sift my flour first. What a simple thing and what a result. Thank you!

[@cynhwon]

Love how it is simple but the minor details make THE difference. Thank you for sharing your recipe :)

[@williamcaine2462]

You do a great job at describing the how and why of cooking! My favorite cooking channel!

I love French cooking and I always come here first to check how you do whatever I want to cook even crepes I've made for years and there's something else to learn, Thank you

[@laquerisma]

I've been making crepes about 45 years, now. I don't use a recipe anymore but I will use this incorporation method. Thank you!

[@adamswitlak1242]

What I like the most in French Cuisine is that it's an amazing mixture of simplicity and sophistication. I mean simple things are done in a sophisticated way, which gives them special touch. Salutations de Varsovie

[@yardner1963]

I’ve never seen crepes prepared and I did not know that you basically can not over stir the batter. I watched how you took your time preparing the batter. Very helpful video for me 😊

I tried this recipe already. Very easy to follow. The secret to a smooth crepe batter was very useful and works perfectly every time I try. I add a bit more sugar though since I like my crepe sweet hehe. Thank you for the recipe :)

[@frankkolton1780]

I have now learned the correct way to incorporate flour into the batter, a basic skill that will help me the rest of my life in the kitchen. A detailed yet simple explanation, this man is an excellent teacher. It is more than worth it to donate to his channel. Thank you.

[@issyk6827]

@Chef Stephane, thank you for sharing this. I've tried your recipe, and it was delicious! Crepes are my mom's favorite. She doesn't live with me. I want to make some and bring to her. What's the best way to preserve them? I saw freezing the savory crepes, but she likes the sweet ones. Please help! 😫

[@brianeaton3734]

Great channel... wondering how many crepes this recipe will make... thanks

[@maryabs5848]

ok, thank you..

[@tivchack]

I came here to find the proper pronunciation of ' Crêpe' ..Now I know how to make them..Thank you!

[@mdrakic]

I do it almost exactly the same, just add more butter (I cool it down to room temperature) and no sugar. As for the whisking, I put everything at once and just filter it through a sieve at the end. Mandatory flavouring at the end, of course, and that ranging from lemon and/or lime peel, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, or whatever I can find. Kids love it, which is the most important measure ☝🏼

[@francisca8026]

I just make it for first time without sugar too .. let’s see

[@mdrakic]

@@francisca8026 good luck. Worth noting is that we eat then sweet, not salty.

[@farahalvi9270]

Nice

[@valeriechaumeziere377]

Excellent video. This is an absolute favorite since I was young and it is a great classic. We love to make crepes regularly during the year, just served with lemon juice and sugar, wonderful, but for dinner parties Crepe Suzette really let's your frinds know that you love them. I managed to find an old very beautiful wood handled copper pan and a silver service antique silver plate spirit flambé lamp for preparing dishes beside the table. Old School de chez Old School! I use this for very special occasions. Steak Diane, Steak au Poivre, Crepe Suzette etc etc One dessert you should try is Black Cherries and Vanilla Ice Cream wrapped in a Crepe. You just buy a tin of very good quality Black Cherries and macerate them over night in a syrup. You have already made your home made Vanilla icecream, of course! At the table, put the black cherries into the copper pan, with their juice, flambé them with Kirsch, spoon this over a crepe and plonk a nice generous ball of vanilla icecream in the middle before folding the crepe over. Make at least two per person cos they ALWAYS WANT ANOTHER ONE!
