Smooth, Crispy, Fluffy Mille Crêpes
I wanted to make a crepe that was delicious and easy to cut into with your fork even after time had elapsed.
It's smooth, cooks easily, and can be made thinly so it looks great when layered.
In order to bring out a richness I mixed in a little custard with the cream.
Mille crêpes dough can be baked very thinly. Bake on high-medium heat. If you bake on low heat the moisture will jump out and you end up with dried-out dough. Add a little bit of baking powder for a crispy and fluffy dough. For mille crêpes 12 to 13 layers is the best. Recipe by Iku..

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the crepe dough. Combine and sift the ★ materials. Add the egg to a bowl and beat, then add the sugar and mix. But don't whip it.
- 2
Add the ★ ingredients and mix. While it's still not completely mixed together add 1/3 of the milk and mix to avoid clumping. Add the rest and mix together.
- 3
While mixing add the melted butter a bit at a time, then add the vanilla, mix, and strain.
- 4
Cover with a wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. You want the flavor to set in, no powder to be remaining, and the dough to stretch without breaking.
- 5
Make the cream. Heat the milk to just before boiling.
- 6
Add the egg yolks to a bowl and add the sugar while mixing. Mix until the mixture becomes white.
- 7
Add the ★ sifted ingredients and mix. While mixing add the milk from step 5 a little at a time and mix while straining.
- 8
Return to the pot and use a wooden spoon, etc to mix while heating on medium heat. Once the middle starts to bubble pour onto a tray, etc covered in wrap, and use ice to quickly cool it.
- 9
If you're worried about it burning cook on low heat, or remove from the heat, mix well, then return to the heat and repeat. You can also use a whisk.
- 10
Take your rested dough and use a ladle to lightly mix. Heat some oil in a frying pan, but wipe away any excess.
- 11
Pour 3/4ths of the ladle into the frying pan, and tilt it to extend it out thinly.
- 12
Once the edges have browned place the frying pan on top of a damp cloth and use a palette knife or your fingers to carefully turn it over and cook.
- 13
Flip on to an upside down bowl to let cool. Use a bowl instead of cutting boards, as they release the heat more quickly.
- 14
Choose the crepe that you baked most beautifully. This will be the one you'll use as the top layer.
- 15
Add sugar to the heavy cream and whip until soft peaks form.
- 16
Put the cooled custard into a separate bowl, mix well until smooth, then add vanilla and continue to mix.
- 17
Add a little bit of step 15 to step 16 and mix. Then add the rest of step 15 and mix lightly until soft.
- 18
Place the crepe dough on a flat plate covered in wrap, or on top of a cutting board. Apply a thin layer of cream. Place another piece of dough on top and repeat the process. Continue doing this.
- 19
Cover with wrap and cool, then cut with a warm knife. Cooling it makes it easier to cut and the cut opening stays nice.
- 20
If you like decorate with powdered sugar and heavy cream. Wrap to preserve.
- 21
When making with thinly-cut fruits, don't add the fruit to the uppermost layer. This is to keep the fruits from being visible from the top.
- 22
This time I thinly cut some strawberries, dried with paper towels, and placed on top of the cream. You don't have to wrap up the fruit in the crepe.
- 23
You can also use- "Delicious the Next Day! Simple & Smooth Crepe Dough" in double amounts. I recommend this for those who like chewy textures.

Strawberry, Kiwi, and Peach Mille Crêpes Cake Strawberry, Kiwi, and Peach Mille Crêpes Cake
Both my husband and I love the mille crepes cake at cafe HARBS.My husband requested me to make one, so I tried to do it for the first time!!I'm amazed because I made this delicious mille crepes cake by myself!!I'm so happy we can eat a whole cake by ourselves.Bring all the ingredients to room temperature.Take your time to make this cake, and it will be similar to the original taste!I don't like when the filling comes out from the edge, so I didn't spread the cream to the edge, but it will be tastier if you spread it to the edge.

One of my friends on Cookpad ("weeeek") said that I didn't have a crepe recipe uploaded! That was my motivation for uploading this.Adjust the amount of granulated sugar to taste. (We usually add 25 g.)I usually let the Step 7 batter rest for half a day.Be sure to mix the batter up again just before you cook it. For about 8. Recipe by ko-ko -

Basic Crêpes Sucrées Basic Crêpes Sucrées
At first I was adding sugar and butter to my crepes (as in the basic recipe), but at some point I realized they tasted fine without it, so I omitted it. Now I make my crepes with or without butter depending on the toppings I'm using (I do not add any sugar).When I'm using whipped cream or fruit as toppings, I cook these simple, light-colored sugar crepes until lightly golden brown. (This is just my preference.) They're fine without the brandy, but it adds fragrance to the finished product. Add as much butter as you like. Recipe by Yukiline -
Mille Crepe Cake Mille Crepe Cake
Ah, yes, the mille crepe. Another notoriously expensive to buy and time-consuming to make, but unbelievably delicious French dessert. The mille crepe is not as complicated as the macaron, but unlike the macaron, it's not a let's-make-this-for-breakfast-tommorrow project, but rather a I-need-something-for-next-week's-fancy-potluck kind of cake.

French Crèpes French Crèpes
I love these with vanilla yogurt and peaches inside. But they're equally delicious with syrup, or cinnamon & sugar, or almost anything else you can conceive of!Also amazing as savoury crèpes for dinner, but you'll want to leave the sugar and vanilla out then, and maybe throw some herbs in instead, depending on what your intend to have as fillings.

Moist Chewy Crepes Moist Chewy Crepes
I've always loved crepes and often made it without giving much thought to the ratio of ingredients, but this time, I measured them out well. Because these crepes are so simple and yet easy to handle, I decided to post the recipe here!Take care to strain the batter to remove lumps - this really makes a difference. There's no need to grease the pan if it's a non-stick frying pan. Make sure to heat the frying pan well. It's a simple taste, so you could make a meal with it for sure. Recipe by Lesser Panda -
