Stöckli Mini Crepes Maker: Delicious crepes in no time!

Crêpes are very thin pancakes that are especially popular in France. However, they have long since earned a firm place in international cuisine as well. They are loved not only for their simple preparation but also for the many variations in which they can be made. A special version of this delicacy is the mini crêpe.

Thanks to Stöckli’s products, you can easily bake mini crêpes yourself. Below, we’ll show you which items from our range you’ll need. When baking mini crêpes, you can let your creativity run free — and we’ll also share some inspiration for delicious variations you should definitely try.

What are mini crêpes and what makes them special?

Mini crêpes are simply crêpes made in a smaller size. In terms of the batter recipe, they are no different from the regular version.

Mini crêpes are ideal as a snack between meals. They’re easy to hold and can be eaten in just a few bites. Even when topped with jam or other spreadable fillings, there’s little risk of making a mess while eating.

Mini crêpes are especially popular for the following occasions:

• Birthday parties
• Family gatherings
• Receptions

Mini crêpes are particularly popular at children’s birthday parties. They provide kids with handy little treats they can enjoy in between games, and the variety of flavors makes them even more appealing.

How do I bake mini crêpes using Stöckli products?

In Stöckli’s range, you’ll find various products designed for making mini crêpes. For example, we offer several crêpe plates that can be used with our PizzaGrill. Depending on which PizzaGrill model you own, you can choose the matching crêpe plate.

The crêpe plate for the PizzaGrill for8 allows you to bake up to six mini crêpes at once. With the crêpe plate for the PizzaGrill for6, you can make three mini crêpes at the same time, and with the crêpe plate for the PizzaGrill four4, you can bake two mini crêpes simultaneously. Each crêpe plate comes with a ladle and several spatulas.

The number of spatulas corresponds to the number of molds in the crêpe plate. This allows several people to prepare mini crêpes at the same time, with each participant having their own spatula. So there’s no need for the host to bake lots of crêpes in advance — instead, baking becomes a shared experience.

Each person can also decide how brown they want their mini crêpes to be, and they can top them however they like.

By the way, to prepare crêpes in the usual size, you can use our Marroni oven. We offer a model that already comes with a crêpe plate. This expands the possibilities of the device, which is primarily used for roasting chestnuts.

Already own a Stöckli Marroni oven? Then you can upgrade it later with a separately available grill and crêpe plate. With the batter spreader from our range, you can spread the batter evenly on the plate, ensuring perfect results every time.

How do I use the crêpe plate for the PizzaGrill?

Using the crêpe plate for the PizzaGrill is very simple: First, place the plate on the grill. Add a little cooking oil into each mold and spread it evenly with a brush. This step is only necessary before baking your first batch of mini crêpes. Then, switch on the grill.

The ladle included with every crêpe plate has a marking that indicates the right amount of batter for mini crêpes. Fill the ladle up to this mark and pour the batter into one of the molds on the crêpe plate.

Immediately spread the batter evenly from the center outward using the ladle, without pressing down. Repeat this process for the remaining molds.

After about two minutes, one side of the mini crêpe will be done. Use one of the included spatulas to flip it, then bake the other side for another two minutes.

Depending on whether you want to top your crêpes with savory or sweet ingredients, proceed as follows:

• For savory ingredients, it’s best to add them after flipping the crêpe. This way, the cheese will melt nicely from the plate’s heat, and other toppings will be pleasantly warm.
• Sweet ingredients, on the other hand, should be added only after removing the crêpe from the plate. Use the spatula to lift it off — this helps protect the nonstick coating. Once on the plate, you can top your crêpe with jam, honey, or fruit slices.

Once you’ve added your topping, fold the crêpe to prevent the filling from spilling or dripping out. You can fold it once or twice, roll it up, or even shape it into a small pocket.

Inspiration for mini crêpes

You can top your mini crêpes however you like. Basically, you can choose between savory and sweet variations. This way, the crêpes can serve either as a full main course or as a delicious dessert.

For example, try mini crêpes with ice cream. The cold ice cream slowly melts on the warm crêpe, and the contrast between the temperatures creates an exciting combination.

Mini crêpes with honey and walnuts also make for an interesting dessert. The ingredients complement each other perfectly in flavor. If you also let some soft cheese melt on the crêpe, you’ll get a particularly unique taste.

A more classic option is mini crêpes with quark and berries. If you use crème fraîche instead of quark, you’ll get a slightly tangier but still very appealing variation.

Have you ever tried mini crêpes with tomato sauce? This creates a dish similar to pizza. You can then top the crêpe with cheese, ham, or salami. You can also add seafood to your mini crêpes — various types of fish, shrimp, or roe are great options for creating a tasty dish.

The classic crêpe batter is traditionally made with milk. It also includes water, flour, salt, eggs, and butter. If you want to make sweet mini crêpes, simply add sugar to the batter. Let the batter rest for at least half an hour before baking.
