Frenchie Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I intend to organize a " crêpes party" in the Uk in december, is it easy to find a " crêpière" in the UK ? ( I don't want to take mine in my luggage !!! ) [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Do you mean an electric one or just a crepiere pan?I'd never seen a crepiere pan until coming to France. I always used a normal frying pan. But that was over 5 years ago, so maybe they are available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I mean a crepière pan .. well... thanks for the info..Maybe someone who s still in the UK could tell me .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouyade Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Sure - we do cook/eat pancakes!!! Any decent cookery department has them in a variety of sizes; try John Lewis (you might consider ordering over the phone or on the net and have it delivered to wherever you are staying in UK. I have never had a need for a special pan, I just use a good quality frying pan of whatever size suits my purpose at the time.Pouyade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I m used to the crepière ... because I find it easier " to toss them in the air " and fall back in the pan to cook the other side... [:)]Thanks for the info, Ill try John Lewis . PS : I have Breton origins, and Britanny is originally the region of the " crêpes" .. My partner says I cook them like no one else .. ( but then he just says so maybe when he wants somethin from me !! LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Or you could buy this gizmo and make heart-shaped pancakes http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/kitchen-accessories/jml-pancake-maker.aspOff topic but... Suzie, your new avatar is quite scary [:'(] I can see (now) that it's a cropped photo of a horse, but there's something rather sinister about it at first glance.

pouyade Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 [quote user="Frenchie"]I love the idea of heart shaped crêpes ( pancakes are thicker)Merci !![/quote]Not necessarily.................... rather like 'pudding' in English, pancake has a wide variety of uses both generic and specific. Inclung thin, thin 'crepes' and thick 'drop scones'. All depends.Pouyade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I like pancakes , I love crumpets but , I think crepes are a waste of time , because they are way too thin , and without a decent filling are tasteless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crêpes can be very tasty, well mine are .. [:D] I add a spoonful of rhum or " fleur d oranger " or vanilla .. In Britanny, we say the thinner they are, the better .. With a " bolée de cidre" .. just perfect to me ...My partner is English , he loves crêpes.. So I guess it s just a matter of taste..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
