There are many types of recipes for crêpes. You can find it in the World Wide Web or in
commercial recipe books.
The appliance is equipped with a switch for temperature adjustment. You can adjust from 0-5.
Use level 5 for preheating and faster baking. Use level 1-2 for keeping warm the ready made
crepes and use medium levels 3 or 4 for slow baking. As the baking time and temperature might
be different depending on the kind and consistency of the dough you use, time and temperature
must be found out by your own experience. It is recommended to use a medium temperature
level (3 or 4) for baking first till getting accustomed with the appliance.
1.
Prepare your desired crepe dough (use common crepe recipes) and pour into a bowl.
2.
Grease the plate by applying a thin coat of cooking oil, butter or margarine onto the surface
and rub in with paper toweling. (NOTE: it is recommended to grease the crepe maker before
each use.)
3.
Plug in and turn the switch on (position I). The red control light indicates that the appliance is
connected to the mains, it is permanently illuminated.
The green control light indicates that the appliance is heating up. Preheat the unit with
temperature level 5 until the green light switches on (during use the green light will switch on
and off).
4.
Put the dough spatula near the appliance. Now put approx. ½ a soup ladle of dough onto the
middle of the baking plate. Apply the dough with the dough spatula evenly and thin onto the
whole baking plate (see figure on page 4).
5.
As soon as the crepe has a lacy brown effect on the underside and the top becomes moist
with a smooth and glossy appearance, now you can remove the crepe.
6.
put the crepe on a plate. You can use a wooden spatula or a heat resistant plastic spatula to
remove the crepe. If crepe begins to stick to the cooking surface of the unit, wipe clean with
paper towelling and lightly coat with cooking oil, butter or margarine. You can keep warm the
ready made crepes for a short time on the unit. Use temperature level 1-2 for keeping warm.
Do not leave it on the baking surface for a longer time otherwise the crepes could burn.
Caution! After each use for safety reason switch off (position 0) and unplug the appliance!
Preparing crêpes does not success
If you do not get fine and delicious crêpes the consistency of the dough might be wrong. If you
have used too much fat (butter or oil), the dough is too heavy and does not stick at the baking
surface correctly.
The crepe should be baked very shortly. Then remove immediately from the baking plate so that
it can not get too dark or too dry. Keep warm while preparing more crepe.
Anyway using less fat the best you can do for health.
1.
use less butter and cream as described in your recipe
2.
use more milk or water instead to achieve a good consistency
3.
use small eggs which have more egg yolk (egg white contains a higher percentage of fat)
