What about crepe makers?

[Guest guest]

All the talk about Pizzelle makers got me thinking about crepe makers. Does

somebody make crepes? Do you find it useful on the diet? Which crepe maker do

you use? Many Thanks, Betty

Many Thanks, Betty>A crepe maker is entirely unnecessary -- unless you love to shop and have lots of kitchen storage space. :-)A good non-stick frying pan (I use a 10" pan) works perfectly well.n ______________________________A funny, touching gift book for cat lovers.

I've tried making crepes with horrible results. I can make them gluten free

with no problem, but the SCD recipe wouldn't hold together to even attempt to

turn them. Anyone have a recipe that actually works? We love crepes around here

- used to make them all the time for special breakfasts and would like to do it

again.

BTW - I've always used a large skillet with no problems. I use non-stick spray

or lots of butter. Coconut oil also works well to keep them from sticking.

I followed a recipe that called for coconut flour. The " crepes " just plain

didn't work. They didn't stick together and fell into pieces when I tried to

turn them. Believe me, I KNOW how to make crepes and these were the weirdest

things. The taste wasn't good either, so it must have been the coconut flour.

I'll try with almond flour when I can afford to buy some more. I can't do

yogurt, so I hope it still works.

Thanks,

>> The problem is the coconut flour.

Thanks. I'll try again with almond flour as soon as it goes on sale somewhere.

I was thinking it might be the coconut flour, but I find so many recipes using

it...
