Making Crepes at Home

This video will show you step by step how to make the lightest, most tender crepes ever, right in your own kitchen.

Chantilly Crepes
adapted from "The Cake Bible" by Rose Levy Berenbaum

Makes 12 crepes

Ingredients:

3 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp melted, unsalted butter
1 tbsp Grand Marnier
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
90 grams (about 2/3 cup) cornstarch

Mix all ingredients in a blender for 10 seconds.

Heat a crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with melted butter or nonstick spray.

Pour 2 tbsp of the batter into the middle of the pan and immediately begin swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Let it cook for 10-15 seconds until the edges begin to turn brown and release from the pan. Gently lift the edge with a spatula. Carefully slide the spatula under the crepe, then flip. Cook for another 10 seconds, then turn the crepe out onto a plate.

Notes: the cornstarch may settle out of the batter so remember to stir the batter a few times before ladling it out onto the pan.

@jubyanne1 90 to 100 grams of cornstarch for the chantilly crepes recipe.

Does it end up tasting like roti prata? Juz curious :)

[murky2]

@leannemint no, the crepes do not taste like roti prata. Although, that would be an interesting combination - crepes and curry

[murky2]

@womoek @keitachi Grand Marnier is for flavoring the crepes only; you can leave it out if you choose.

I LOVE CREPES!

@luvfinger yes, the Chantilly Crepes recipe calls for cornstarch and not flour. Look up the Chantilly Crepes recipe on the House of Annie food blog.

@murky2 ~ i tried it n it came out lik fried cake but its still yummy :D

[luvfinger]

Looks like a great crepe style, however, am I correct in understanding that this recepe doesn't require flour? It's hard to imagine cornstarch the body and main substance in place of flour- it also seems less nutritional. Anyone know much about this?
