    I grew up with this exact crepe maker and it was amazing. We were a family of ten and this machine was perfect for us. We got to the point where we could pop out 50 crepes in an hour. We mixed the batter in a blender and would then pour it out into a high rimmed plate. We'd also flip the crepe half-way through cooking. For some reason the first crepe is always a bust and we usually gave it to the dog. Lots of good memories watching this.

    In my experience, usually the first (thin, British) pancake is a sacrificial one to the pancake gods and ends up on the floor/ceiling/in a crumpled heap when you try to flip it. I'm so very impressed that your first one came out perfect!

      The trick to avoid a failed first pancake is to heat the pan up more. When you put in the butter it should immediately melt and brown, at which point you also pour in the batter.

    When my mom was a child jelly/jam used to come in little jars meant to be used as juice glasses once the jelly was eaten. They were decorated with cartoon characters and such. And coffee came in glass jars with some decals you could apply later to create a canister set with different sized jars. I'm still using 3 large and 4 small in my kitchen.

    Just wanted to let you know the steps to make crepes that I learned in culinary school. Add your flour to a bowl, add your eggs and mix to a paste, then add your melted clarified butter and mix, then add your milk slowly while mixing to get as many lumps out as you can get, then add the milk till you get a consistency of heavy cream, strain into another bowl to get lumps out, refrigerator for an hour, then take out and add milk if you need to, it should be at heavy cream consistency. Then make your crepes. Hope this helps.

      This Pan featured a crepe maker near the foyer of the restaurant. There was a circular set up with the crepe maker stood in the middle, dipping the bottom of a pan (much like the one Emmy just featured) then it would rotate over an open gas flame. Looked like a wagon wheel. The crepe maker being the hub, and the pans being the wheel. The crepe maker would flip a crepe off, then dip the bottom of the pan , put it back on the flame, then repeat. Do it during the peak busy times. There was some one making them in the back too, if needed. I’ve never heard of Olga’s. Maybe they used a similar set up

    I'm surprised you don't flip the crêpes! The surface of the crêpe touching the pan looks perfect but the other side looks quite pale and "rubbery". In France, we like to make the crêpe jump out of the pan to make it land on the other side or when we're not too sure of our skill we just use a spatula but either way, we prefer to let it cook on both sides.

    The reason your butter solidified was because either the eggs or milk were too cold! When you're making a batter that you'll be adding melted butter to, you should always bring anything that might have been in the fridge to room temp first, or the melted butter will solidify ❤️ it's an annoying extra step but microwaving your milk for 15 seconds or letting your eggs sit in warm water for a few minutes will save you lumps in the end!

    This is cool! You should use wood or plastic tools to make the teflon last longer if this has a place in your kitchen long-term, but I like that if it gets messed up you can just get a new crepe pan (they sell inverted ones you use the bottom like these)

    That contraption was popularized by a chain of crepe restaurants back in the late 70's: The Magic Pan.
    It featured a huge rotating stovetop with I think a dozen pans being dipped and cooked.
    The chain was originally sold by Quaker Oats, there were 110 in total around the country but in the early 80's it pretty much died off. In 2005, the Magic Pan name was re-introduced by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, in Northbrook IL but it didn't have the original stovetop contraption. It did, however, feature many of the original recipes.
    As amazing as a cook my mother was, she never had the patience for crepes. So that job fell to me.

    Before now I didn't even know "crepe maker" was a thing. But Google tells me that there are tons of them out there nowadays. Some of them work pretty much exactly like this one, except the "pan" and heating unit are combined together. The downside is that you can't flip the "pan" over and use it as a skillet. But if you're in the market for a crepe maker, I suspect you already have a decent skillet on hand, so no great loss. Anyway, if you want something like this, you don't have to wait for a vintage one to show up in your local thrift store. There are tons of brand-new ones out there; Google is your friend.

    Crepes are actually super easy to make by just using your normal frying pan or skillet. They're just as easy as regular pancakes in my opinion. It's just a matter of the proper batter consistency and knowing how to pour it correctly. I can whip up a whole bunch in a few minutes.

      @@shannonbensing9484 My parents taught me this technique - pour the batter in the center of a heated pan covered in butter (or flavourless cooking oil) and swirl it around until it covers the entire pan. You will quickly notice that it starts changing colour as it solidifies, begging at the edge. Once it reaches the centre, it's ready to flip with a silicon spatula.
      Don't be afraid to start thick and add milk to the batter between tries until it easily spreads as you turn the pan around. You will know you have the right proportion when it spread like this and doesn't tear as you lift it. Make sure the pan is covered in fat after each crape. The heat should be set to the temperature, where it takes about 15 seconds for the whole top to solidify then 5 seconds on the other, this is something you should tinker with after perfecting the batter.

    When I was a kid in the 70’s there was a crepe restaurant chain called the Magic Pan. My favorite was filled with Gruyère and then deep fried somehow.
    They made their crepes in the middle of the seating area at a large rotating stand, with I think 8 of these pans - the cook would stand in the middle while the stand rotated around them, dipping and flipping the pans as they went by.

    Making crepes is a lot easier than people probably think. I have a lot of success just cooking directly in a wok. The batter cooks quick, very reliably at 2 minutes on each side over medium high heat. I'd recommend using a wok, but in a pan it's basically the same. The only kind of tricky part is swiveling the batter to get it flat, but you just hold the pan by the handle over the flame, and pivot your wrist so the batter rotates, and sticks to the sides of the wok. You do that until the batter is flat, and firmed. 2 minutes on each side, medium high heat, and it's done.

    This is the way my mother taught me how to make crepes. We have a rounded pan, and would make a nice, buttery crepe batter and then just dip the heated bottom of the pan in the batter and then flip the pan upside down over a plate, and let the crepe drop. It would take a few tries to get it started (sometimes the batter would get stuck to the pan), but after a few minutes, it would work out beautifully every time 🙂
