Pancakes... but make 'em French!
Let’s get crackin’! 1 cup water, 1 cup milk, 2 cups flour, 4 eggs, 4 tablespoons of melted butter and a pinch of salt.
“This makes about two quarts of batter - enough for 24 five-inch pancakes!” — Julia
Batter meets pan after a two-hour nap in the fridge.
Excess batter? Pour it out.
Julia on mastering the art of the flip: “It’s a matter of practice, and it’s quite fun.”
Alternate flip method No. 1: two wooden utensils.
Alternate flip method No. 2: fingers.
Julia on the spotty brown coloration: “This looks like a baby Dalmatian.”
Some savory lobster meat for a filling? Wine not?!
3 tablespoons of cornstarch blended with some Half & Half because you can’t not sauce.
Testing… Testing… 💯
Add lobster.
Roll, roll, roll your crepe, gently with the lobster meat.
Add sauce. Bon Appétit! Watch “The French Chef” on GBH Passport: https://www.wgbh.org/the-french-chef-with-julia-child
