HINTS AND TIPS

• The best way to learn how to make crêpes is to make crêpes! If you’ve never made them before, whip up a batch just to practice.
• Finding the perfect temperature for making crêpes is necessary for success. Start with a heat control knob in the middle or just a little lower and adjust from there. It is common practice to count the first crêpe or two as a throwaway, so don’t worry if you need to make a few until you find the correct temperature. In general, a lower temperature is better than a higher, which will cook the batter before you have finished spreading it onto the hotplate.
• Cooking times will vary depending on the foods you are cooking.
• After each crêpe or pancake has been cooked, simply wipe it with a cotton cloth. Cotton is less abrasive than some kitchen papers.
• Once you’ve tried some of the recipes in this booklet, you may wish to adopt them, using our suggestions as a guide.
• The product should not be used for cooking or defrosting frozen food.
• The difference between crêpes and galettes is that crêpes are usually made with plain flour and served with a sweet filling, while galettes are made with buckwheat flour and are filled with a savoury filling

RECIPE

Please note that all spoon measurements are standard metric, so 1 tsp is 5ml and 1 tbsp is 15ml. We recommend using a set of measuring spoons for accurate results.

WHAT YOU DO

In a medium bowl, sift flour, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and oil. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry and whisk for a short time until mixed. Cover and leave to chill for an hour. Brush or spray a little oil onto the hotplates. Heat up the hotplate until ready and the heating light goes out. Pour a small amount of the mixture onto the hotplate. Cook about 5 minutes until golden brown, flipping over as required. Repeat with the remaining batter.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS FOR SWEET CRÊPES OR SAVOURY BUCKWHEAT GALETTES
