Hello and welcome back to in the kitchen with Matt. I am your host Matt Taylor. Today I am going to show you how to make crepes, or the French pronunciation I believe is crepe. I had a request to make a video on crepes, so here we go. Crepes are really easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it. Lets get started. First some people like to do this in a blender, so I have a blender here, but I am going to do this with a hand mixer, you can use a stand mixer if you want, or you can use a whisk. But uh, lets first start off with 2 eggs, 1 and 1 half cups of milk, this is 2 percent milk, but you can use 1 percent, or whole milk, if you like, 1 tsp. of oil this is canola oil, or you can use vegetable oil. Also some people like to substitute the oil with butter, take like a tablespoon of butter and melt it, and put it in there. All right I am going to blend this together well. And now I am going to add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1 fourth tsp. of salt. And that is the base batter for crepes. If you are going to make a sweet crepe what I like to do, is I like to add 1 tsp. of vanilla extr, and one tablespoon of granulated sugar. If you are making a savory crepe, leave out the vanilla extr, leave out the sugar, and add an extra half tsp. of salt. Mix this together. There we go. Now if for some reason it is pretty lumpy and you cant get the lumps out, you can throw this through a strainer. Now some people will chill this for about an hour in the refrigerator, I dont do that, I dont find it necessary, but you certainly can if you are having trouble with your batter. And now this batter is ready to go. All right I am going to turn the heat on the stove between medium and medium high. Now I just have an 8 inch non-stick skillet here, they do have a crepe skillet that you can buy, I will put a link down below if you want to get one of those, or they also have these little crepe making kits that you can get that are pretty cool, I will put a link down below in the description for those as well. Now once our pan is getting heated up, I am also going to take a little bit of butter, not a whole lot, and we will put it in the pan. I have ladle here and it holds about a quarter cup of batter, if you dont have a ladle like this you can just use a quarter cup if you want, but this works really nicely. And then what I do is I am going to come in here and grab some batter, and I am going to pour the pan, or tilt the pan, lift it off the heat, tilt it up, and just go in here and pour this in here, and then tilt the pan, like that. Put it back on the heat, and then this is going to take oh about a minute, minute and a half, on this side. What we want it to do is we want it to get nice and dry on the top. And then we are going to take a spatula, and just come underneath here, whoops, and flip it over, like that, that wasnt the best flip. And just like pancakes the first one, doesnt usually turn out the best, but thats okay, you can still eat it. Now when you flip it over on this side it is just going to be there, for 10, 20 seconds. Okay, and if you look at this side that is ideally what you like to see, these little blotches on there, that looks great, I am going to put it over here. Tilt it up, get some batter, turn it over, and you can just go ahead and stack them up on each other, they wont
