Crepe-making supplies for Candlemas

The equipment needed to make crepes like the pros

You probably already have most of the essential equipment to make your crepes . Here's a checklist of must-haves to ensure success:

- A crepe pan: with its low sides, it ensures you can easily and effortlessly flip your crepe. It allows you to slide your spatula directly under the cooked batter, without any obstruction. This also guarantees evenly cooked crepes.

If you have a crepe maker, it's even easier! Use a crepe measuring scoop or a ladle to spread the batter evenly, and you're done!

- A spatula : we've already mentioned this, but a long, thin spatula will help you lift the cooked side of your crepe. You can easily flip it over with a quick movement.

- A crepe spreader : also called a "rozell," this is the baking utensil used to spread your crepe batter evenly. This ensures they become smooth and round. We recommend soaking it in water before each use. Then, place it in the center of the poured batter and rotate it in a smooth, continuous motion to stretch it. It takes a little practice, but with a bit of skill, anything is possible! It's especially useful when you have a large griddle or for professional crepe makers.
