Tips For Successful Crepes
- Stir crepe batter with a whisk until smooth, do not beat.
- Let batter stand for an hour before cooking for best results.
- Heat pan slowly (use a non-stick crepe pan unless you are experienced) until it is hot about 200°C /400°F.
- Butter pan quickly and pour in batter. Cook fast or they will be rubbery.
- When edges start to lift, it is time to turn.
Tip For Savory Crepe Batter
Use olive oil, vegetable oil or sunflower oil in the batter as each one will enhance your crepes with a slightly different flavor, your preference.
Try them out by dividing the other ingredients in half placing each half in a separate bowl and use 2 different oils to see the one you like best.
