A Guide To Making The Best Homemade Crepes (Video)

了解如何在家中做最好的可丽饼！非常薄而美味的黄油，它们是周末早餐，早午餐，儿童小吃，甜点或DIY crepe派对的主食！仅需要6种成分，不需要混合或设备。

可丽饼是我最喜欢的早午餐的东西之一，但我曾经认为它们很难制作。它们看起来很幻想，但是事实证明它们比您想象的要易于制作。

Since my kids also love them, I was determined to find the best crepe recipe and have finally created the perfect one after many trials. Today, I’m going to share all the tips and techniques with you. After reading this post, you will be ready to make mouth-watering crepes for any occasion.

And the best thing about these homemade crepes? You can fill or top them with literally anything!

What Are Crepes?

可丽饼是非常薄的，细腻的煎饼，由面粉，牛奶，鸡蛋，黄油，糖和盐制成。根据您的服务，它们可以享受甜或咸味。例如：

• 甜薄饼：lemon and sugar (aka classic French crepes), Nutella, jams, honey, maple syrup, fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and bananas), chocolate syrup, whipped cream, etc.
• Savory crepes: ham, cheese, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, bell peppers, onion, herbs, etc.

The Crêpes originated in the Brittany region of France but the love for crepes has spread all over the world, including Japan.

日本受欢迎的Harajuku Crepes

In Japan, crepes are considered street food and we don’t really have the custom of eating crepes at home.

如果you visit Japan, you will see Japanese adaptations of crepes that are endlessly creative. Takeshita Street in Harajuku is known for its numerous crepe shops and I used to hang out there to eat crepes with friends in high school. It’s more like a destination food, whether it’s in Harajuku or at a festival or at an amusement park.

日本薄饼被折叠或卷起来，充满了许多鲜奶油，水果和甜糖浆。它们通常被包裹在纸锥中，因此很容易携带和享用。

Why Is This The Best Homemade Crepe Recipe?

将这个食谱命名为“最好的”可丽饼感觉很夸张，所以我想解释原因。以我的拙见，这是最好的，因为：

• 仅使用6种简单的成分- 您很可能已经在食品储藏室里了。
• No special equipment- 您不需要像某些食谱建议的那样使用搅拌机；只需打一个碗，碗就会做。
• 无需休息面糊– Yet it yields great result!
• 易于倍增或减半the recipe – Important factor for me as I’m horrible at math.
• Perfect result. Every. Single. Time.

Wait…What Happened to the Original Crepe Recipe?

I published my original crepe recipe back in 2011 with these photos, and named it“simple crepes.”

Since then, I haven’t made crepes for nearly a decade. We’ve been making pancakes and waffles, and more of them, yet I completely forgot about crepes. So, it was a good time to revisit my old crepe recipe and to perfect it.

My kids usually get tired of eating my trial food after the 3rd test, but this time around, they wanted to eat more!

如果您一直在使用我的原始Crepe食谱（谢谢❤️），希望您尝试一下此修订版。老实说，我相信它更好，您绝对应该保留它。

That’s it! I’ll talk about topping choices later in the post.

Overview: Cooking Steps

3. 用水果，鲜奶油和糖浆，粉尘粉和浇头装饰。

13个必须阅读的技巧，以制作最好的自制薄饼

A smooth batter is crucial for making a light and springy crepe. Before you head straight into the kitchen, read these tips and techniques:

Tip #1: Have the eggs and milk come to room temperature

冷鸡蛋和牛奶可能会在面糊中重新降低脂肪（该食谱中的黄油），使面糊显得凝结或颗粒状。当我开始制作可丽饼时，我学到了艰难的方法。为避免这种情况，请在使用前约30分钟从冰箱中除去鸡蛋和牛奶。

My last-minute hack is to heat the milk until lukewarm in the microwave (or pot) and place the cold eggs in lukewarm water.

提示2：将面粉与搅拌混合

您可以随时使用细筛或筛子过滤面粉。但是，一种快速的方法是将面粉搅拌几次，直到看不到大块面粉。

Tip #3: Combine eggs and milk first

Instead of adding eggs, and then milk to the flour mixture, I realized it works best (for me, at least) when I combine the eggs and milk in a bowl first until smooth and homogenous and then add the egg/milk mixture to the flour in the other bowl.

我还建议先添加牛奶，然后再添加牛奶，因为它需要更多的精力来打在牛奶中。

提示＃4：逐渐将鸡蛋/牛奶混合物添加到面粉中

我们必须避免击球手中的团块，这是我们在这里的最终目标。如果您将大量液体倒入面粉中，它将很快变成团块并漂浮在液体中。

因此，添加少量液体并将其掺入面粉中，直到将其变成糊状形式。然后再加入少量液体，使糊状略微松动。这样，您的面糊将不重要。

Tip #5: Add melted butter to room temperature batter

如果您要提前制作面糊并将其放在冰箱中过夜，请确保在添加融化的黄油之前将面糊带到室温；否则，黄油将在冷面糊中固化。您不想有颗粒状的面糊。当您结合两件事时，两种成分都必须在室温下。

Tip #6: Lightly grease the pan

Grease the pan with a pastry/silicone brush or paper towel between batches. You should not see any oil streaks, and that’s how thin the oil should be. I don’t recommend using butter for the pan as it will burn easily. You have plenty of butter flavor in the batter already.

提示＃7：溅出一点水，看看锅是否很热

This is my favorite trick to see if the pan is hot and ready. The batter should make a sizzling sound when you add it to the pan. If water doesn’t make a sizzling sound, the pan is not ready yet. Don’t forget to splash water toward the edge of the pan, too, since it takes longer to heat up that area.

You will need to adjust the heat based on your gas/electric stove you use. I use中火on my stove and slightly reduce toward the end of cooking as my crepes become brown too fast.

提示＃8：使用1/3杯测量杯

A 1/3-cup measuring cup fills up the surface of a10英寸（25厘米）crepe锅。制作可丽饼的最大错误是在锅中填充或填充面糊。

根据面糊的一致性和锅的尺寸，您需要尝试不同的尺寸尺寸的杯子或梯子。标准尺寸的棒面糊应填满12英寸（30厘米）的锅。我喜欢我的薄饼较小，我会在我的可丽饼工具部分中谈论它。

Tip #9: Tilt and swirl the pan

Pour the batter in the center of the pan and quickly tilt one side so the batter will run toward one edge. Then swirl to evenly distribute and cover the surface. If you see any small holes,shake the pan sidewaysto fill up the holes.

Tip #10: Don’t touch the crepe until the edges are golden brown

可丽饼需要良好的热接触，因此避免抬起并经常检查，因为它会减慢褐变过程。根据可丽饼的厚度和燃气/电炉，烹饪时间有所不同，但应该在1 to 2 minutes。

如果需要3分钟，我会说热量太低。

如果your stove doesn’t distribute heat well,旋转锅均匀分配热量。您可以通过可丽饼的颜色来分辨。确保较少的可丽饼的棕色区域得到很好的加热。

Tip #11: Use a long cooking chopstick or spatula to flip

I assume the majority of my readers own a pair of long cooking chopsticks (to cook Japanese food)? I love using a long cooking chopstick to cook crepes. The wooden material is gentler than a metal spatula but either tool works.

I spin the long chopstick between my fingers as I slide under the crepe and detach it from the pan.

如果you use acarbon-steel crepe panlike I do, some parts of the crepe could be stuck to the pan. But don’t worry! Using a gentle poking with the chopstick, you will be able to remove the crepe from the pan nicely. You just have to nudge. If you have anon-stick pan，您的可丽饼甚至可能会滑动，您可以用指尖抬起绉纱。

Cook for 10-15 secondson the second side. Insert the chopstick under the crepe, lift it up and transfer to a plate.

提示＃12：将可丽饼的“漂亮一面”放下

Because I usually fold (or roll up) the crepe and want to show the “pretty side” for presentation, I stack the crepes, placing the “pretty side” down.

To prevent the crepes from sticking to each other, it’s important that they are stacked in the same direction.

提示＃13：从锅中取出碎屑

如果您正在使用carbon-steel crepe pan就像我这样做一样，每批清洁锅很重要。在向锅涂油脂之前，您需要用纸巾拿起面包屑。

If something is sticky and does not come off, I recommend washing the pan and starting it over again. Otherwise, I learned that the batter will stick to the pan on that spot and will get burnt on the same spot.

Equipment to Make Best Homemade Crepes

Do we need a crepe pan?

You don’t need a crepe pan and make excellent crepes.

如果您使用的是常规的煎锅，那么不粘锅可能是最简单的选择，尤其是如果您是新手制作薄饼的话。

Ever since I watched the non-stick pan documentary, “我们知道的魔鬼” (亚马逊Prime/苹果电视），我没有使用不粘锅，而是将所有不粘锅锅都更改为碳钢盘。

For this reason, I bought a10-inch (25 cm) carbon-steel crepe pan($55), and here’s why:

• It’s much lighter than regular carbon-steel pans (no walls, smaller handle) and I can swirl the pan with one hand. If you get a bigger crepe pan, it could be slightly heavier.
• 锅的侧面较低，因此可以更轻松地检查可丽饼的褐色多远或滑入筷子/刮刀和翻转。
• 10英寸的可丽饼是填充成分的好尺寸。

I have to say I love my carbon-steel crepe pan and highly recommend it!

我需要一个可丽饼工具吗？

我买了一个可丽饼撒布机和铲套（$ 13）测试这些工具是否帮助我制作更好的薄饼。经过几次试验，我意识到我真的不需要它们做漂亮的薄饼。那么，我建议您得到这些吗？不，我会节省这笔钱，投资于可丽饼锅。

How to Save Crepes for Later

用另一盘盖住薄饼，并将它们存放在冰箱中长达2天。

准备好吃时，可以将它们弹出在微波炉中，并将其加热2分钟，直到加热。

How to Serve Crepes

Typically, my family eats 2-3 crepes per person so I usually make 1-2 batches depending on how hungry they are. Here are some delicious ideas on how to serve your crepes:

Sweet Crepes

• 柠檬和糖：撒上一茶匙糖，然后挤出一些新鲜的柠檬汁。在宿舍中折叠，上面放上巧克力酱。用糖粉粉尘，并用柠檬皮和切片装饰。
• Nutella and banana:将一层薄薄的花生酱撒在可丽饼上，并用切成薄片的香蕉上衣。在四分之一折叠，用糖粉和草莓装饰。
• 果酱，新鲜水果和鲜奶油：Spread your favorite jam over a crepe and top with fruits and freshly whipped cream. Fold in quarters and garnish with fruits.
• Japanese style crepe in cone shape:Roll up your favorite filling and topping for your crepe!

Savory Crepes

• Ham and cheese:撒上磨碎的奶酪，将火腿切成薄片。烧烤，直到奶酪融化，起泡并折成两半。与奶酪墨西哥奶酪类似的概念。
• Smoked salmon and cream cheese:Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over a crepe. Top with smoked salmon and fold in quarters or roll up.
