What's the best way to cook crapes?

Question

just wondering

Answer 1

quickly in a small hot frying pan with little greese added

Answer 2

There are specific pans for doing it right, they are stainless and when you put the pan upside down, the handle faces the right way, the crepe batter is poured slowly on the center until the pan is lightly coated and then you just turn the pan over onto a plate. Not having one of these I use a 9" frying pan (sloped sides) over a very high heat, and pour the batter into the center, swirl it around and dump it onto a plate. Crepes are only half cooked on 1 side, the filling goes on the uncooked side.

Answer 3

using a cast iron skillet on a med-high temp helps to evenly cook the crepe.

Answer 5

I love crepes. Crapes are actually called crepes. My mom uses a skillet. She waits until the crepes are a light brown. My favorite kind of crepes is to put cinnamon and sugar and fold the crepe and eat. Yummmm...

Answer 6

I have the special crepe pan that you dip down into your batter, which lightly coats the pan, then placing the coated side up on the burner - cooks the crepe.  But to me that's a lot of work so most of the time I just cook my crepes in a regular non-stick skillet.  I pour some batter in the center and then swirl the pan to spread it out across the bottom of the pan.  Once the edges start to lift, I flip it over for just a minute.  Then I stack them - covered with a towel - and fill when I'm finished.  The trick is not to put too much filling in the pan so it creates a nice thin crepe.

Answer 7

Here is the basic crepe recipe that I use:

Ing:

    * 2 cups all-purpose flour

    * 1 cup milk

    * 6 tablespoons butter, melted

    * 3 eggs

    * 4 tablespoons granulated sugar

    * 1/4 teaspoon salt

Dir:

Process the flour, butter, sugar, eggs and salt in a blender until the mixture is smooth. Add the milk 1/3 cup at a time, until the batter is a liquid consistency. Set batter aside for 20 minutes.

Melt a little butter in a crepe pan or large skillet over low-medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of batter to the pan and swirl until the bottom of the pan is covered with batter. Cook the crepe for 1 minute, or until the crepe is slightly moist on top and golden underneath. Loosen the edges of the crepe, slide the spatula under it, and then gently flip it upside down into the pan. Cook for 1 minute and transfer the cooked crepe to a plate to keep warm.

Then you can add whatever filling strikes your fancy.  :)
