🎉Today is the introduction of a new series on my channel : Vintage Cooking ! I will present you vintage recipes for you to try at home… or not! So that you don’t have to.

In this video, I am making crepes the old-fashioned and traditional way. With lots of alcohol involved ! Will they be better than the ones we make today ? Or will they be tasting unusual to our modern taste buds ?

I am very happy to share with you this recipe aired on December 20, 1954 by the French chef Raymond Oliver (1909-1990) on TV. Along with TV host Catherine Langeais (1923-1998) he presented the first ever cooking show in France, Art et magie de la cuisine (The art and magic of cooking), created in 1954. This very successful show has aired for 13 years.

Recipe for 4-6 people. Makes around 25 crepes. 🧂 𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑹𝑬𝑫𝑰𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑺 🧂 - 2 vanilla pods - 2 very large pinches of salt - 4 large tbsp of sugar - 1/4 L of milk - 400g all-purpose flour - 2 large tbsp vegetable oil - 8 eggs (room temperature) - 100g butter - 1/4 of L of alcohol with ° 1/3 of anise liquor (Pastis or Ricard) ° 2/3 of white rhum Both at room temperature - A bottle of 75 cL of lager beer at room temperature (will use approximately 3/4 of it)

🥄 𝑫𝑰𝑹𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺 🥄 - Slice in half the vanilla pods and cut them in half as well. - In a saucepan, put the vanilla, salt, sugar and milk. Let it boil and stop the heat right away. Set aside. - In a large bowl, throw in the flour and make a well. Add the oil and eggs. Whisk vigorously for a couple of minutes until the dough is smooth and soft. - Add the butter cut in small pieces in the saucepan. Stir with a wooden spoon or a maryse until fully melted (no metal as it would give a taste to the milk). - Pour the milk in 2 or 3 times in the dough while whisking. - Add the anise liquor and rhum to the mix and whisk. - Add the beer gradually and whisk. - Strain the mix and add some more beer if needed. We need a water consistency. - Cook the crepes on a pan. This recipe calls for thin crepe for the alcohol to evaporate so that only the flavour remains. Do not add any oil on the pan as there is enough in the mix. Also, do not try to flip these crepes over as they are very thin and moist, and therefore won’t flip. I hope you will enjoy them ! Do not hesitate to let me know in the comments or share pictures on my Instagram messages if you try making them !
