That’s fantastic, those are super thin! Reminds me of my moms, but she has a dedicated crepe maker. Usually the ones I’ve seen made in pans end up much thicker
It's a rozell. It's used to spread out the batter in a circular motion. Not the easiest cooking utensil to use, but it does make for thinner crêpes. There's also another version of this tool that has a flat end piece and looks a bit like a small rake.
Bro I have 1 crepe pan and it takes ages to make them for my family of four. I be sitting on a stool waiting for 1 to finish. A single one takes longer to make than it takes to prepare it with toppings and eat it. I can't have it on too high or it'll burn.
Honestly I'm not sure what makes mine turn out. I was taught when I was young and don't have a recipe. I just know the batter by texture / how runny it is. Mine are just flour, milk, sugar, and eggs.
My batter is more runny; I can pour mine. I pour about 1/2 a cup per crepe. I butter the pan, but not much and re butter it when needed. I find butter makes it more soft and take longer to cook, but that could be in my head.
I made enough for a family of four in about 1 hour from start to finish. I got out of bed first to make them this morning so no one had to wait for breakfast. This is really my only tip. Cook while everyone sleeps / is still getting dressed.
Nice, here we call those Pannekoek. Sugar (a lot) and cinnamon while hot, leave them to cool down, and then slightly heat before eating. Sticky chewy goodness!

Those turned out great! Do you have a crepe maker or did you use a pan?
Thanks!
I use a pan on medium heat (3-4). They cook fairly quickly so the trick is to not get distracted and burn them.

You can do them in a normal pan, too. Just have to make sure the batter is not too thick. And using one of these helps:
Never seen that tool.

Interesting! Looks like a tool that requires practice to perfect.
My batter is runny so I just tilt the pan.
Are they still hot?
I'll be there in 10 min max.
Made plenty. Is whipped cream, chocolate butter, jam, butter, and maple syrup good?
🫠
I'll have mine with raspberry jam, strawberry jam, and whipped cream. ❤️ Blueberries if ya got'em.
Crepes and Bread. Two things you can prepare that make you look like a wizard to people who don’t cook.
Crepes are just so fun to make. Whenever I've made them for my family I've juggled managing 3 or 4 pans at once, and you just get in this groove
That's efficient!
I used 1 pan lol.

Tips welcome.

Sorry that I don't have tips.
We usually have them for dinner here, so starting to make them bright and early in the morning might be a tad too soon 😆
But yeah it takes me probably an hour to make a full batter as well. Also runny. Having two pans would at least halve that time...
Anyway, thanks for the tips! 🙏😊
I'd make them for lunch or dinner too. They're delicious.
Ahh so it's just the process is slow. Why stop at 2 pans? Get 3 or 4. Make them all in 15 minutes!
I cook slow so 1 hour to make dinner is not anything usual. Prep work with veggies take me forever.

Netherlands?
I looked up Pannekoek and the recipe is the same actually.
I do mine sweet too (jam, chocolate butter, syrup).
South Africa, but we got it from the Netherlands originally.
That's so cool! I love how lemmings are from all over!
Do you flip them with a tool or by theowing them up in the air?
A spatula / egg flipper. If you throw them up in the air and it lands perfectly you get bonus points.
Do I get bonus points for doing it just using the pan?
Yes.
But you also lose bonus points if you're caught using wizardry or magic.
You'll never catch me using magic for auch mundane tasks. It's all in the wrist.
Even if I did use magic you would not be able to tell. You don't get such a position and not have a good grasp on magic.
You may start cooking then.
