    Still highly amused to see the rude comments on nearly every uploaded video. Please don't ever edit out the mess. It's what sets this channel apart from an ocean of others focused on food. It focuses on the process rather than the result and helps people realise that no matter how unprofessional they are, they can still end up with a professionally-made meal. Normalising making mistakes is so rare, even today, making what you're doing a lot more important than what a Michelin star chef would teach. Additionally, the knowledge itself will follow the viewer out of the kitchen.
    On another note, while I've ditched Julia years ago due to... uhh... health issues, your approach to making her dishes actually inspired me to give one book another try! With some modifications at least. This particular recipe was where it started.

      Julia Child dropped things from time to time. She dropped a piece of omelette on the stove top and just picked it up molded it back onto the side of the omelet and said Just put it back, on who's to know.

    And once again, here's me telling you about my Mom having made this for us all the time when we were kids. Yes, the flour not only "blooms' when it rests, but yes, it relaxes, almost the same as when we make bread. Anyway, Mom would stand at the stove after the batter came out of the fridge, pull out her little skillet that was used exclusively for he crepes. She would cook them, place on a place, roll it filled with some kind of jelly, and POOF! It was gone. The first kid in line got it. Then the second came out, filled and rolled, and POOF, gone. there were four of us and she just kept making crepes and filling them until the batter was gone. I'd say we each got 4 - 5 of them. HERE"S something you probably never heard of. She cut a small onion in half, dipped it in oil, and used that o oil her pan each time. and NO! it did not leave an onion flavor but gave her a beautiful very even this sheen of oil in the pan to cook the next one. Her pan was so beautifully seasoned too after years of making crepes for 4 kids.

    I always use 2 small skillets at a time, alternating the start up time. I usually end up adding a little more milk as the batter waits while I’m cooking. I’ve been making crepes for 40 years! OMG! I’m old!

    I know I’m late to the party, but crepes have been for breakfast a lot for pretty much my entire life and I love them. Some tips for people reading the comments. Always make more batter than you need. The batter keeps well and you can always reheat crepes that you’ve made for desert that day. Pour the batter slightly off-center, and move your pan smoothly when spreading the batter around. This is really helpful for getting even and nice looking crepes. If you mess it up just eat it lmao. If the pan gets too hot, just take it off the heat for a little while you put more butter or whatever you’re using in the pan. You’re never gonna get the heat perfect on the stove, so just do this if you feel it’s too hot. Better to be slightly too hot than slightly too cold. Use a spatula to lift a portion of the crepe, wet your fingers or wait for a sec, then use your hands to flip unless your a pro and can make your crepes fly. Anyway that’s all I got. Also crepes cooked in butter with cinnamon and sugar spread on it is great.

    For crêpes you just need to wipe the pan with grease, e.g. with a brush or crumpled-up parchment paper dipped in grease, especially when it's well-seasoned. They dry more than they bake like pancakes. It really takes a bit of practice, I have been there. ❤️

    That truly looks gorgeous. Bravo, sir! You've mastered crepes, I think. The best of this batch looked beautiful. And the whole assemblage seemed as if it would taste delicious, with all that cheese, mushrooms, spinach, and all. One of those pie or cake pans with removable bottom (you set it on a small can after cooking, and the sides just fall away) might be the answer to unmolding this. But you managed fine without. A 5-star result!

Cool! Also, in later books Julia recommends instant-blend (Wondra) flour for crepes, because it's not as long a wait to let it hydrate.

    Just an FYI, while it is ideal to rest crepe batter for two hours, you can still have wonderful, tender crepes without doing so.
    In the summer, I'll often do strawberry crepes for breakfast.
    Mix up a crepe batter. I don't even bother with the blender, I'll just use a whisk or eggbeater. (This also helps avoid activating gluten, and cleanup is much easier than a blender.)
    Let it rest while washing, cutting up, and sugaring fresh strawberries (or other soft summer fruit.)
    Once the fruit is cleaned and sugared, make the crepes. Plate by simply placing down a crepe, add some of the fruit, fold. Repeat.
    An easy breakfast, and it can be done from start to finish in less than half an hour, with practice.
    Doing crepes this way could have helped more quickly fix your lack-of-crepe problem.

    • @GiraffeFlavoredCondoms
      @GiraffeFlavoredCondoms Před rokem

      You don't really need to rest the crepe batter if you whisk it by hand, but it you put it in the blender, you have to. Your crepes turn out fine because you don't put them in the blender, not because you don't rest them. You're not activating the gluten as much as a machine does.

People had been telling you that you crack eggs wrong (the side of the bowl, which is what I do too) and they should be cracked against the tabletop. In the video you try once and make a mess, then use the edge of the desk, if i recall right (i do this too). I never did manage to learn to crack eggs against the tabletop, despite hearing about it repeatedly. Anyways, it was delightful to see you doing so here, and so casually, too.

    you cant go wrong with that cheese sauce, yum! I actually have a cast iron crepe pan. Didnt know it was until I decided to make some. Up until then I had just been using it for my husbands breakfast eggs, every single day.. so I am super familiar with how it heats and works. It makes the most perfect crepes.. but Im sure a lot of that has to do with the fact I used the pan so frequently I knew how to pour, spread the batter, cook it to the right level and when it would 'release'. Iv never waited 2 hours after mixing the batter though. Thats news to me. Mine turn out 'perfect' as far as Im aware despite cooking the batter within minutes of making it up. My guess is there is a slight difference, but if you dont have time to wait, its really not that important.
