We challenged chefs of three different skill levels – amateur Jerry, home cook Kit, and professional chef Penny Stankiewicz from The Institute of Culinary Education – to make us their favorite dessert crepe recipe. Once each level of chef had served up their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way – both good and bad. Which crepe looks most “magnifique” to you?

All you have to do to be a chef is add some alcohol to everything you cook ????
Giiirrrrl, you wasted 2/3rds of your Crepes!

None of them actually cooked a crepe :)))) i don't know what that is… but you should taste a crepe anywhere in europe…

That Jerry guy acts and looks gay
i watched this video when it came out and i have never stopped saying “wowwa zowwa”. thank you.
I cant w the lvl 1 chef not flippin his crapes T.T
Why would you use pancake mix for crepes ? They are completely different things ! Idk if it’s because I’m French, but this video was painful to watch sometimes…
I have an easier time making and flipping crepes than any of them. Really want to try those filings though.
Did he say bananas are full of protein???
please do savory crepes one day
the worst junk joint in poorest country of europe wouldn't sell any of those
Why are level 2s always the funniest lmao
I keep hearing “And this is my crap”
Here is my recipe how to make the best crepe ever:
1 egg
5 spoons of milk (1 dcl)
1 big tea spoon of flour
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 bigger pinch of salt
Mix it…
Filling:
Fresh greek yogurt
Crushed strawberries
Topping
Powdered sugar
Lemon juice
Put butter on the pan and the pan really hot – don't burn the butter. Don't use oil!!! Use butter!!! and pour the batter on it… then lower the heat so you don't burn the butter. The first side can take some time to be made compared to the other. So flip it leave it few seconds and throw it on a plate.
For filling spread the yogurt on the pancake, put the strawberries on it – you can add sugar here, but only a small amount. This part should be fresh, elevating the lightness of the batter. Roll it.
On top put the powdered sugar. Don't powder it through sieve or strainer!!!! Just use spoon and try to powder it from the top with a spoon. More uneven you get by hand the better. Take a lemon and squeeze the juice over the top of it.
This will blend with the eggs like the best custard you ever had and will give the lightness of a cloud that crepe is the final kick that will bring you with it into the sky.
You are welcome.
Thumb down for level 3 chef not being able to separate the eggs.
Did he just say bananas are full of protein? ????
She sounds like an older Nicki
