For the more creative ones
The right tools
The key to a successful Candlemas is to equip yourself well. It might surprise you, but the secret to a crepe that is both thin and fluffy lies in two essential ingredients: the resting time of the batter (count on a good hour), and the quality of the pan! On our side, we had the pleasure of testing two fantastic options.
If your kitchen looks like a craft store bursting with all sorts of colors, there's no doubt that the crepe maker you need is from Tefal, which has just launched a new range of ultra colorful utensils, and even a heart-shaped pan for those wanting to combine Candlemas with Valentine's Day.

Atma is excited to introduce their brand new crepe maker in stainless steel, a timeless essential that offers a wonderful alternative for a healthier kitchen. It may be a bit more of an investment, but it’s guaranteed for life! And we can't wait to see what you whip up with it!; the prospect of crepes until the end of days puts a smile on our face…

Even better, last year, we took it a step further and tested all the crêperies on Rue du Montparnasse, to find the best one. It wasn't always an easy task, but in the end, what could be better than a crêpe marathon to celebrate Candlemas?
