Back in the day (mid 70's) when I was a girl scout, I remember our troop making those for an international food day with all the local troops. We filled ours with fruit and I remember liking them . Have not made them since.
The fruit is a cape gooseberry or also known as a ground cherry/husk cherry.
May I suggest thinning your crepe batter a bit and use less batter in the pan. Crepes are supposed to be thin, and when you pour a thinner batter into a hot pan, you swirl the pan around to spread the batter. You can also use a crepe spreader tool to distribute the batter after pouring. Most spreaders come in a set with a special crepe spatula.
Indeed! After making that batch in the pan and then the other on the electric, I realized the pan batch were on the thick side. Everyone - dogs included - had no complaints, however 🤪
They are golden gooseberries and i love them!
Thank you Matt! And shout out to Madame Weissert, my high school French language teacher. She taught us how to make the batter and make des crêpes. The whole class had fun making some. I have made my own later in life a few times, both sweet and savory. Lol i still have the high school recipe❤
Thanks for watching! I hope this inspires you to whip up some crepes again at home :-)
I think the trivia item is a gooseberry but they seem larger and brighter than ones I have seen growing in the wild. Being diabetic I don't do crepes or pancakes but I do sneak an occasional toaster waffle with fruit no syrup.
The mystery fruit is a ground cherry. I recently saw a video using them to make a pie.
Some cheese and taco sauce is amazing! Also, Chinese mu shu is pretty much the same idea - I love that stuff!
Yeah!! 🙌
Hi Matt, really interesting. Thanks
Thank you! 🙏
We had an electric crepe maker like that around 1976-1977 so yeah, mid-1970s.
Nice!! Thanks for the info. 👍
pull up after dipping, wait till it stops dripping then turn it to avoid that dripping bit on the side ;)
Good tip! Thanks 🙏
I have an electric crepe maker--I'm thinking it was from the 80's to early 90's. It does make really thin crepes, and they always had holes in them, which you can "patch up" with a little extra batter. I always flipped them for at least a few seconds because I didn't like that raw looking side. You have to be really careful because they are so thin the edges tend to get crispy. Btw I would have rolled or folded the crepes with the "pretty" side out. The side with the dots looks more like a tortilla than a crepe. Now I have carbon steel crepe pans (thrift store find).
Great call on the folds. I cringed a bit when I re-watched the video and realize I didn’t do that. Live and learn. 👍
Ground Cherries
That's what we Messy-Cans here in Texas call a Flour Tortia..... 😅
lol! I know it looks so much like one, right? Wish I’d rolled it the other way 🤪
