Cucina Pro Electric Griddle and Crepe Maker
Whether they’re called crepes, blini, pancakes or blintzes they are an international favorite. Blintzes and crepes are close cousins - until it comes to the country of origin the fillings, the toppings and how they are folded..They can be filled, topped, made sweet or savory - and are perfect for an entrée or dessert. When we make crepes, we usually top them with a lovely liqueur infused strawberry or orange preserve sauce and a generous sprinkle of powdered sugar. And then, there are the times we make blintzes – using our beloved heirloom recipes. We fill them with farmer’s cheese or cream cheese and top with a dollop of sour cream.
We love our crepe pan, but have just discovered and tested the electric Cucina Crepe Maker, model 1448. When we are in Israel, we are enamored with the professional electric crepe making machines we see, and now we have our own. What fun! So easy to use too!
Since Passover is approaching, we have chosen to keep our new crepe maker parve and Passover friendly, and are delighted with the results. We have prepared blintzes filled with mashed potatoes, our heirloom recipe for Passover noodles, and some extra crepes which we have frozen, likely to be topped with fruits, nuts sugar and whipped cream.
