About this recipe

Crêpes… who doesn't have childhood memories linked to this simple and comforting treat? In my family, crêpes were synonymous with rainy Sunday afternoons, spent watching movies and enjoying warm crêpes, topped with sugar or homemade jam. My grandmother, an outstanding cook, always had a stack of crêpes ready to be devoured. This recipe, although simplified thanks to the Thermomix®, is a tribute to those precious moments. Flour is the basic element, it brings structure to the crêpe. Use T55 wheat flour for a light and flexible texture. The eggs, for their part, play a crucial role in binding the ingredients and contribute to the richness of the batter. They also bring a beautiful golden color to the crêpe when cooking. Finally, the milk hydrates the flour and gives the batter its fluid consistency. The choice of milk is important: whole milk will give a softer crêpe, while skim milk will make it lighter. The oil, added in small quantities, prevents the crêpes from sticking to the crêpe maker and gives them a slight crispness. The use of the Thermomix® greatly simplifies the preparation of the batter. It is important to respect the mixing time indicated (20 seconds) to avoid overworking the batter, which could make it elastic. If you don't have a Thermomix®, you can of course make the batter by hand or with an electric mixer. In this case, be sure to mix the dry ingredients (flour) well before adding the liquid ingredients (eggs and milk) gradually, in order to avoid lumps. The resting time of the dough is essential. It allows the flour to hydrate completely and the gluten to relax, which will give lighter and less rubbery crêpes. Do not hesitate to let the dough rest longer, even overnight in the refrigerator. Before cooking the crêpes, mix the batter again to make it homogeneous. For a vegetarian version, replace cow's milk with vegetable milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.). For a vegan version, you can use vegetable milk and replace the eggs with applesauce (about 60g to replace 2 eggs) or banana puree (about 1/2 mashed banana to replace 2 eggs). You can also flavor the batter with vanilla, orange blossom, rum or citrus zest. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg will bring a warm and comforting touch. Crêpes can be enjoyed in a thousand and one ways. The most classic are topped with sugar, jam, chocolate spread or honey. They are also delicious with fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, bananas, etc.) and whipped cream. For a savory version, garnish them with ham, cheese, mushrooms or spinach. They can also be used to make crêpes Suzette, flambéed with Grand Marnier. Crêpe batter keeps very well in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Simply mix it again before using it. Cooked crêpes can also be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, well wrapped in cling film. You can reheat them in a pan, microwave or oven. For advance preparation, you can cook the crêpes and freeze them. Separate them with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. Simply defrost them and reheat them before enjoying.
