Crepes<\/strong> are an emblem of French gastronomy<\/span>, eaten all year round, whether for breakfast, as a sweet snack, or even as a savory version for a complete meal. They are particularly associated with Candlemas<\/strong>, a religious festival celebrated every February 2.<\/p>\n

Crepes have become popular all over the world thanks to their light, fluffy texture.<\/p>\n

Fluffy Cr\u00eapes Pierre Herm\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

Pierre Herm\u00e9’s fluffy crepes recipe<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

I often make cr\u00eapes and, like everyone else, we love them. We love them for their softness and also for the immense choice we have to serve and enjoy them.
\nGarnished with caramelized apples or pears and served with a good vanilla custard<\/a> <\/strong>they make a quick and easy dessert that everyone will appreciate.<\/p>\n

Even if crepe batter<\/strong> is a simple grandmother’s recipe<\/span> that everyone knows how to make, I’ve tested a number of Chefs’ recipes to see the difference. I have already posted the Paul Bocuse recipe <\/strong> to which I’ve added my own touch for even lighter cr\u00eapes.<\/p>\n

The cr\u00eape recipe<\/strong> that stands out from the rest is that of chef Pierre Herm\u00e9<\/strong>. Its recipe produces crepes that are soft, light and delicate on the palate. I’ve adopted it, and I don’t intend to change it. However, I’ll be sharing other recipes with you so that you can try them out and judge for yourselves.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve found your recipe (this one for me), you can garnish them with fruit, chocolate or jam, or stuff them with delicious savoury toppings. Crepes can also be flamb\u00e9ed, like Crepes Suzette,<\/strong> or baked in the oven with a delicious b\u00e9chamel sauce.<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients

Ingredients crepes pierre Herm\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

The easiest way is to pour everything into a blender and blend it, as I do with moroccan baghrir. However, you will have to wash the blender as well.<\/p>\n

You can also use an immersion blender in the mixing bowl. But with my method, you can do it all by hand with a simple whisk.<\/p>\n

1. Mix the dry ingredients, flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. <\/p>\n

2. In a measuring jug, mix the eggs with the milk, water, and the seeds from the split vanilla bean.<\/p>\n

3. Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in little by little half the milk + egg while mixing with the whisk, swirling in the center. The flour on the sides will gradually fall to the center. Always mix in the middle.<\/p>\n

4. When all the flour is incorporated and the batter is smooth and homogeneous, without lumps, add the remaining milk and mix. <\/p>\n

5. Finally, add the warm but not hot butter and mix well. Then add the rum, Grand Marnier or orange blossom water. It’s optional since the vanilla already provides enough flavor.<\/p>\n

6. If you still have lumps, you can strain the batter through a fine sieve or blend it with an immersion blender.<\/p>\n

7. Cover the bowl with a clean dishcloth or tea towel and leave the batter to rest for 2 hours, as recommended by the chef. I left it on for just an hour, as I usually do, and got excellent results. If you let the batter rest, you get fluffy crepes.<\/p>\n

Cooking crepes <\/strong><\/p>\n

1. After the resting time, depending on the flour used, the batter may thicken a little more than normal. Add a little water to liquefy it slightly. The texture of the batter should remain smooth and creamy. <\/p>\n

I made this recipe with different flour, and didn’t have to add any water. The batter remained perfect.<\/p>\n

2. Heat non-stick frying pan over medium heat and grease with a little butter using a silicone brush. You don’t need to grease the pan, as the crepes come off easily, but greasing the pan gives the crepes a nice golden color.<\/p>\n

Re-grease the pan every 3 crepes, but you don’t have to.<\/p>\n

3. Mix the batter and use a ladle to measure the amount of batter to pour into the pan.<\/p>\n

4. Pour the batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread it evenly in a thin layer. If the surface of the pan is not completely covered, add a little more batter.\"cooking<\/p>\n

5. Turn the crepe over as soon as bubbles have formed on the surface and the edges begin to come away. Check that the underside is golden before turning (about 2 minutes).<\/p>\n

6. If you’re comfortable with this movement, flip the crepe or use a spatula. Preferably use a silicone spatula to avoid scratching the pan. <\/p>\n

7. Cook the other side until golden brown, then remove and place on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil or a tea towel to keep warm.<\/p>\n

8. Finish baking the batter in the same way. As they cook, stack the crepes to preserve their softness.<\/p>\n
