Crepe Making Kit: Tips, Tricks, and Recipes for Perfect Crepes

Make Your Favorite Crepes At Home! 

Sweet or savory crepes make for a great breakfast (or brunch), but most people only treat themselves to these pastries at restaurants because crepes can seem a bit daunting to prepare. Not only that, but a commercial crepe-making machine can cost upwards of $300! You would have to be pretty crepe crazy to buy one of those for some homemade crepes. 

These issues often cause us to settle for pancakes and waffles, but not anymore! Crepes made at home are not as hard as you think and with the Pizzacraft Crepe Kit, this delicious homemade breakfast just got realistic!

The crepe maker includes everything you need to make all your favorite crepes at home, while tailgating, or camping! The crepe maker comes with a steel base plate, hardwood batter spreader, and crepe-flipping spatula.

The steel plate can be used on your grill or in the Pizzacraft Portable Pizza Oven or the PizzaQue Outdoor Pizza Oven. Both methods make for delicious restaurant quality crepes whether you are cooking for friends on a camping trip or making a sweet dessert for your mom this mothers day!

Crepe Making Tips and Tricks 

High heat: Using the grill or Pronto Oven for crepes is perfect because the thin and delicate batter can be tricky to work with if it is not cooked at a very high heat. One of the most important tips to great crepe execution is a very hot steel plate! Make sure you let the grill and crepe plate heat to around 500° F before each new crepe, it makes a world of difference when the time comes to flip. An infrared thermometer can be very helpful here.

Thin it out: Another issue with making crepes can come from spreading the batter too thick! Do not be afraid to get thin with the crepe spreading tool. There is a learning curve to the perfect batter spread, but the trick is to get the batter as thin as possible in one 360° motion. 

Let it chill: Unlike most pancake batter, the sweet crepe batter has more butter in it. Chilling the batter recipe in the fridge for around 45 min before making your first crepe can make a big difference by allowing the butter to solidify into the mixture.
