I still come back to this video every time I have a craving for crepes! The recipe always renders beautiful, flippable crepes- and the troubleshooting portion is a great resource. Thanks, Helen!

"Don't worry about a funny little crepe extension" has been so reassuring! Thank you! I am now in your 95% 🤗

You are just adorable in your instructions! Your friendliness and warmth got me to hit subscribe! I'm looking forward to cooking crepes and learning more recipes from you!

It’s been several years, but I come back to this recipe every time I’m craving crepes. Thanks for your thorough instructions and lively presentation, Helen!

THANK YOU, Helen! Adding in the mishaps has truly put me at ease. I'll be following your directions for homemade crepes in the near future. (I'm fighting some major vertigo w/terrible tinnitus these last few days, but as soon as it subsides... crepes are definitely in my family's near future). Your videos & direction takes away the stress & has pushed back apprehension in trying new dishes I've wanted to try. Much appreciation. Bravo.

The latter part that shows common hiccups and how to deal with them sets this video apart from a lot of cooking videos that only show perfect scenarios.

Good demo; so happy to have found you. You are a delight to observe.

I’m going to make a crepe cake this weekend for my parents anniversary, so this was very helpful! You just earned a new subscriber!😊

Made this recipe several times and LOVE IT! For the orange sauce (separate video), I just tried using very finely diced KUMQUATS in lieu of orange zest today and I can't recommend it enough! Kumquats taste more like oranges than oranges, and the bright, tart orange flavor they add to the sauce is far more complex than the variable flavor of zest. TRY IT if you can find them!

Very nice demo, very good narration, good examples of ways to flip and recover from imperfections. Bravo!

I couldn't help but notice the 3 "thumbs down" on your video but I did not see any critical comments. The the threshold of difference is where the potential of learning is greatest. I wish they would have expressed why they did not like this session as long as it was constructive. Personally, I appreciate that you showed what can typically go awry and how to remedy each scenario. Cheers to you!

[proklamator]

Great how you told the alternative storys. With all these little happiness triggers. :)

[wffarrell]

#realcomment Kudos to you, Helen, for showing what can go "wrong" and how to recover. Anyone who has made crepes has experienced all that, and the mantra to repeat is, "Don't Panic!"

[lauraellen]

I am craving crepes! Thanks for the tips. I practiced flipping the other day with a flour tortilla 😊

[RowlandGosling]

Love your sincere, helpful and fun ways to teach us. Thank you for another great video Helen!
I was thinking of Crepes Suzette but didn't have any Grand Marnier or oranges handy. We wanted breakfast and stat! So I grabbed a half-used jar of lemon curd and made a sauce in the same small skillet as the crepes and oila! Poured the sauce over the stack of crepes, added a little creme fraiche on the side and served it up. Tasty breakfast!
