  • Place crpe pan over moderately high heat With flexible spatula spread a tiny amount of butter in pan an alternative method is to brush the pan with melted butter using a pastry brush and heat until butter just begins to smoke Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter into the pan As you pour quickly tilt the pan in all directions to spread a thin layer of batter across the bottom Pour in just enough batter to cover the pan

  • Making the batter for these crpes is relatively easy but cooking them can be laborious Once you have a gotten a feel for the procedure you will probably have to tinker with the heat and cooking time since every pan behaves slightly differently you can save time by using two pans at once Stagger the process so you are pouring the batter into one pan while a crpe is cooking in the other This way you will be able to closely attend to both but will finish in half the time
