Traditional Crepe Pan VS Electric Crepe Pan

This is a Crepe Pan Review on a Traditional Crepe Pan vs an Electric Crepe Pan

If you’re looking for a delicious crepe recipe i love this recipe for Crepes! Dairy Free Crepes!

This Tefal pan is the best crepe pan out there. It is a non-stick crepe pan. This pan is very lightweight and extremely easy to use!

Tefal is an amazing brand! If you want more classical crepes i would recommend this Tefal pan. The Tefal pan is made for making classic crepes (large ones). This Tefal pan is super wide, but also easy to store.

I highly recommend a Crepe spreader, these come in very handy when making crepes on the stove and on electrical pans. A Crepe spreader is a classical crepe tool. Just two pieces of wood formed to make a handy tool to spread crepe batter. A lot of crepe makers use this especially at shops. But if you’re using a pan, you can simply pick up the pan and twirl it around. It’s not that ideal but it definitely works! I mean, a crepe is a crepe!

An Electric crepe pan is a great way to make fast crepes. The only down side with an electric crepe pan is you cannot pick up the pan and twirl it to around to spread around the batter. You will definitely have to use a crepe spreader, or a spatula.

On the other hand Electric crepe pans can be hard to store. They tend to be bigger, and come with a cord. You can store this on top of your fridge or just sitting on your counter!

Years ago Dunkin' Donuts in the USA made Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Twists. I loved them so much but I just couldn't find a recipe for them, so I decided to make my own!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (divided)
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Instructions

1

In your stand mixer bowl mix the water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Cover with a cloth and let sit for 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes are up add all the flour, the rest of the sugar, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon.

2

Mix in your stand mixer mix on low speed for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes add the in raisins and mix for 30-45 more seconds.

3

Take out the dough out of the bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the bowl and spread it around the bowl. Place the dough back in the greased bowl and cover with a cloth and let rise for 1 hour - 1 1/2 hours.

4

Once the dough has risen cut it into 10-12 even pieces. Roll the dough into strings 1 inch thick in diameter and 12 inches long.

5

Fold the string in half and twist 3-4 times, pinch the ends closed. Let the twists rise one more time for 30 minutes.

6

Once the 30 minutes is up, get a large pot and fill it with 8 cups of water and place on medium-high heat to boil.

7

Once the water is boiling preheat your oven to 395°F, and line a tray with parchment paper or a reusable, oven safe, non-stick mat.

8

Place the twists into the boiling water, cook for 30 seconds and flip and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.

9

Once you have boiled all the twists, mix 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water together to make an Egg Wash. Spread the egg wash all over the twists.

10

Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Once the twists are baked, let cool for 10 minutes and drizzle the glaze onto the twist. These twists are best served hot!

Active Dry Yeast VS Instant Yeast

What is the difference between Active Dry Yeast And Instant Yeast?

Active Dry Yeast. Active Dry Yeast is most commonly found in supermarkets. Active Dry Yeast is made by taking out all the water in Live Yeast and ground it to fine pieces. The Active Dry Yeast needs to sit in warm water with a little bit of sugar for a few minutes. When it foams it means it is alive and ready to be used.

Instant Yeast. Instant Yeast (also known as Bread Yeast) is ground finer then Active Dry Yeast, which makes the yeast taste different. You can use Active Dry Yeast and Instant Yeast the same way.
