The perfect pancake or crepe !
Crêpes are originally very thin, usually round, cooked in a specific pan: the pancake pan. They are much thinner than pancakes and have a smooth surface. The batter must be particularly thin and liquid, made from :
-
flour
-
eggs
-
milk
-
salt
For an extra touch, don't hesitate to add a little orange blossom or even vanilla. That way, you'll have one more excuse to eat your crepes, even without toppings!
If you prefer poffertjes to crepes, you can also find them on the Cookinglife website, where you'll find a wide selection of crepe and poffertjes frying pans.
What is a crepe pan?
A crepe pan is specially designed for preparing delicious, ultra-thin crepes. It is characterized by its flat shape and low rim, making it easy to flip and serve them. A crepe pan can be used to make pancakes. The non-stick coating ensures that the pancakes don't stick and are cooked evenly. A pancake pan is a real kitchen essential thanks to the following 5 benefits:
-
Flat, wide surface and low rim: pancake pans have a flat, wide surface that allows the pancake batter to be evenly distributed and spread out finely. The low rim of the pancake pan makes it easy to flip the pancakes with a spatula and serve them without them sticking or tearing.
-
Non-stick coating: most crepe pans have a non-stick coating that ensures the crepe or pancake batter does not stick to the pan. This not only makes it easier to flip the pancakes, but also to clean the pan after use.
-
Good heat distribution: a pancake pan is designed to distribute the heat evenly. This means that pancakes can be cooked evenly on all sides, for optimum texture and taste.
-

In terms of use: a pancake pan is extremely versatile, as it can be used not only to make perfect pancakes, but also to prepare other delicacies. With its wide, flat surface and non-stick coating, the pan is ideal for pancakes, omelettes, and tortillas. Patties and wraps can also be prepared with ease in this special pan. The versatility of the pancake pan makes it an indispensable utensil in every kitchen.
Expert advice: for the best pancakes, make sure your frying pan is properly heated. Even if “the first one is always a dud”, it's not a general rule! You can even prove it. Because of our impatience to eat these delicacies, we often start making the pancakes or crepes when the pan is still too cold and, as a result, the first pancake is a dud.
