crepes from a french guy

The entire weekend was quite uneventful till a work mate, David and housemate Irlene? showed up at our door with a fabulous idea of having crepes for dinner. They went to get the groceries, pierrick went to get the wine and i watched the house to make sure nothing happened to it =D Anyways it was a fantastic evening of wine-drinking, crepe tossing and wii playing. Just check out the photos! =)

Pierrick also let on how one makes the perfect crepe mixture.
1) Decide how many eggs you want in the mixture
2) Slowly add flour and mix the flour into the eggs
3) Keep doing it until the mixture is relatively gooey and sticky
4) Add milk until the crepe mixture becomes runny again =)
5) Get a crepe pan, and get ready to do some crepe tossing!!!

Apparently the first crepe you make off the pan is for the dog, and the rest of them are good. Something to do with absorbing the butter off the pan and so on.. The rest of the night we had crepe throwing competitions. I accomplished a double somersault with a half twist for an amazing score of 9.5, while others... well.. you can see from the photos =)








A trick that i used to get a good consistent crepe thickness was to heat the pan up, and then pour the batter on, wait a few ticks and then pour anything that is still runny back into the batter. This was not well receieved by Pierrick, but well, it works! so who can argue with that?
