Recipes

WHEAT PANCAKES
For 20 crepes – Put 1 tablespoon of buckwheat flour (optional), 100 to 125 g of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, 25 g of melted unsalted butter or 1 tablespoon canola, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 10 cl of water in a bowl. Stir it all and add gradually 250 g of wheat flour and 12 cl of low-fat milk until to obtain a fully smooth without lumps. Add progressively after 36 cl of milk.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES
For 15 crepes -Put 250 g of buckwheat flour, 1 tablespoon of wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of coarse salt, 1 egg and 1 glass of water (12 cl) into a bowl. Stir to form a compact ball.

Cooking

•  It is recommended to use sunflower oil to grease the griddles.
•  Cooking temperature for crêpes is between 200°C/230°C approx.
•  Before spreading the first crêpe lightly grease the griddle.
•  To make a crepe, poor a ladle of batter on the hot griddle. Spread the batter with the wood spreader Krampouz.
• Whilst cooking, simply wipe the griddle and only add oil if your crêpes stick.
• If the appliance remains heated for a long time without being used, ensure you lightly grease the griddle before re-use.

Practical advice

• If the batter runs on the griddle or sticks to the spreader: do not grease. Badly made batter can have the same effect. Remove excess oil
•  The batter only bubbles: it is too runny or badly-made or else the griddle is too hot.
• If the griddle only sticks: lightly grease with a little cooking oil.
• If you add the fillings on the griddle on which you spread the batter:
  •  Avoid certain fillings which can spoil the seasoning (e.g. lemon, tomato).
  •  Wipe the griddle before spreading the next crêpe.
