Crepes are very thin pancakes made with flour, milk, eggs, and some other ingredients that may vary from one recipe to another. When you look at a thin crepe, you may think that making them on your own is complicated, but it’s really not. There are many recipes available and following anyone will give you a decent result. If you want to move from decent to fantastic crepes, use this simple trick.
The Great Divide
Read any crepe recipe and it will tell you that your job is to make a batter using the listed ingredients. The good news is that you don’t have to follow any particular order, as long as the ingredients are mixed together well. But if you’re interested in making better crepes, consider separating the egg white from the yolk.
Separate the egg whites in a large bowl and mix the rest of the ingredients as usual. Using an electric whisk, create egg white foam which you will gently mix into the batter with a silicone spatula. This will make them fluffy and very soft.
Fry the crepes as usual and serve with favorite fillings. The great thing about crepes is that they can be sweet or savory, so play with the fillings until you find your perfect combination.
