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
Cook crpe over moderately high heat until bubbles just begin to form on the exposed surface about one to two minutes Lift up the edge to check the cooking process if the crpe starts to burn before it is cooked through turn down the heat If it is not nicely browned after two minutes turn up the heat
When underside of crpe is browned flip and cook another minute or less until other side is browned Remove from pan and keep warm in the oven loosely covered with foil
Grease pan with a very small amount of butter and repeat process Continue until all batter is used stacking cooked crpes on a plate in the oven To serve sprinkle each crpe with sugar or spread with jelly and fold or roll up
Note
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

Grease a 6 cup capacity ovenproof dish generously with the butter or margarine then smear the garlic around the bottom and sides of the dish
I use a round glass pyrex dish Peel potatoes and slice thinly into rounds
I use the slicing blade of my food processor
Line the bottom of the dish with a single layer of overlapping potato slices
Sprinkle generously with salt pepper and nutmeg
Repeat this layering and sprinkling process until you have used all of the potato slices
In a large jug combine cream and milk and stir well
Pour this mixture over the potato slices gently easing the potato away from the sides of the dish to allow the liquid to penetrate evenly
Place the dish onto a microwave safe plate and cook uncovered in a microwave on MEDIUM HIGH for 15- 20 minutes
Check occasionally
If the liquid in the potatoes boils over simply pour it from the plate back into the dish and continue cooking
Microwave just until you can push the blade of a sharp knife through the potato layers without feeling any crunchy resistance
Having reached this stage you can go on to cook the dish in the oven or cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for several hours or more before cooking
Pre-set your oven to 180C 350F

about 30 minutes

fill the canner with water; water should be at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars You may need to add 1 cup of white vinegar if you have hard water in your area Boil the jars for 10 minutes to sterilize It will take about 20--30 minutes for the water to come to a boil Start timing from the time it reaches a good steady boil
