法式香草千层蛋糕 French Style Vanilla Mille Crepes

Another popular but expensive dessert in Jakarta, which, I personally find it overpriced between USD25 to USD50 for an 8" cake sold in cake outlets. Instead of buying the cake, I bought a recipe book solely with Mille Crepes recipes at RM20. 

我身边的亲友家属都非常喜爱吃米勒薄饼千层蛋糕，但是这类蛋糕在此卖得很贵。一个八吋圆形蛋糕售价于25至50美元之间。结果我选择用20马币购买了制造米勒薄饼千层蛋糕的食谱。

With the money spent on buying the ingredients plus the recipe book 'French Style Mille Crepes' by Coco Kong, its was still far from what I would have to pay for the cake, but still get a full size cake.

买了一本江丽风老师的'French Style Mille Crepes 法式浪漫千层蛋糕' 食谱专辑系列丛书38，再加上购买蛋糕材料后还是没有达到在外购买整个蛋糕的费用。

I have increased 30% to originally stated ingredients for the crepe to cater for 'broken crepes' from inexperienced frying and handling. Being new to this, the extra also take into consideration of the possibility of frying the crepe layers with inconsistent thickness. True enough, I only managed to get 16 layers of crepes from adding the 30% buffer ingredients. Based on the recipe, the original recipe is capable of producing 18-20pieces of crepe layers :P.

对于新手的自己，我还在原述的材料份量多加了三十巴先，预备多余以免错手间中把餅皮处里不好或是餅皮煎得厚而影响蛋糕层的制造数量等等 。以原述的材料成份所述应可以达到18-20薄餅层，而当我在预加30%的材料后所制造的只有16层而这一类的蛋糕要越多层就越好看越有口感。

For this posting, I decided to readjust the ingredients for batter with 50% extra from the original recipe. Personally, I prefer to have a higher cake and I hope you could create more layers through that. 

所以，通过这个尝试后便在此写上比原述的材料预加50%成份希望你们能制造出更多层更完美的作品。

According to the author, the crepes batter (A) is allowed 30 mins resting before adding in the melted butter for better batter consistency. If butter is added in too early,  it will create thick finishing to the crepes.

根据笔者所述，等面糊休息30分钟后才加入融化的奶油会有助于制造薄细表层的薄饼皮。

法式香草千层蛋糕 

French Style Vanilla Mille Crepes

To Make Crepes 蛋糕皮料 (A)

355g Low Fat UHT Milk 低脂鲜奶

5 Grade A Large Eggs 鸡蛋

1/2 Tsp Salt 盐

2 Stick Vanilla Pods (Scrape Out Seeds) 香草两支（取出种子）

45g Icing Sugar 糖粉

100g Plain Flour 中筋面粉

(B)

45g Unsalted Butter (melted by double boiling) 隔水炖溶无盐奶油

To Make Filling 馅料(C)

130g Vanilla Flavored Soya Milk 香草味豆浆

70g Instant Custard Powder 即溶蛋黄粉

1 Stick Vanilla Pod (Scrape Out Seeds) 香草一支（取出种子）

(D)

300g Whipping Cream 植物性鲜奶油 

Method

Get ready a 22-24cm non stick flat frying pan, 1 palette knife, cake turntable and an 8" flat serving plate or cake board.

準备好一个22-24cm不粘平底锅，抹刀1把，蛋糕转盘和一个8“平底盘子或蛋糕板。

Combine all ingredient (A) into a large mixing bowl and mix until the batter is smooth. Strain through a sieve. Cover batter with cling wrap and allow to sit / rest for 30 minutes. 

将材料（A）放入一个大碗里搅拌均匀后过滤， 休面30分钟.

Prepare melted butter from ingredient (B) and set aside to cool for later use.

把无盐奶油隔水炖溶后，离火待用。

Add in melted butter to batter (A) and mix well just prior to frying the crepes. 

煎蛋糕层之前加入溶化的无盐奶油拌匀.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Use a ladle to scoop the crepes batter into the pan while tilting to lightly fill the pan with the cake batter. Pour off any excess batter back into the mixing bowl. Cook crepe until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom layer has set.

以中火预热平底锅，用勺子舀入适量的面糊，迅速将锅转一圈至面糊薄薄地沾满锅底直到面皮底面煎熟。尽量不要倒入过多面糊，若有表面上有剩余的面糊尽可倒回面糊碗中。

When the edges turn to pale golden, use a spatula to ease away the layer from the pan. At this point, you may carefully lift up the crepe by hand or any other tools to make sure the crepes does not break.

Place the cooked crepes on a baking tray while finishing the remaining batter. Stir well to prevent the batter from thickening before cooking each layer. Repeat the process until the batter is all used up.

当饼皮煎至边沿微黄时, 用划刀把饼皮划离锅, 再轻轻的用手把饼皮取出放在在一个容器或烤盘上, 重复做法至完成. 千万要记得每当倒入面糊入锅时必须先搅匀, 以防止面糊浓稠。

Beat the whipping cream with a hand held electric hand beater / mixer until thickened。Set aside.

用手持电动打蛋器将植物性鲜奶油打发。待用。 

Combine all ingredients (C) into a large mixing bowl and beat until thickened. Add in whipped cream, mix well.

将材料(C) 倒入一个大盆中以打蛋器搅打至浓稠，加入打发的（D）植物性鲜奶油料拌匀。

To assemble cake, place cake board or plate on the turntable. Place one piece of crepe layer on the board / plate. Spread a thin layer of filling on top. Stack on another piece of crepe. Lightly flatten each layer with hand to sandwich the cream onto the crepe. 

组合蛋糕, 将蛋糕板放在蛋糕转盘上，铺一层饼皮，抹一层薄薄的馅料在表面，然后用手轻按餅皮中间部份使馅料分布均匀。 

Spread on a thin layer of the filling over the top of the crepe and place another piece of crepe over it. Press down lightly with hands.  Repeat the process until the last layer. Do not spread filling on the final top layer.

继续铺上另一层饼皮，抹一层薄薄的馅料在表面，用手轻按餅皮中间部份使馅料分布均匀。 重复至完成。 最后一层不须抹馅料。

Wrap the cake with cling wrap and chill cake overnight before serving.
