• 3 warm an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. brush with a little melted butter.
• 4 while swirling the pan, ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan to cover evenly. cook for 30-45 seconds, until the batter sets.
• 5 lightly tap the edge of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen the crepe, then flip and cook 30 more seconds. alternately, you may use a rubber spatula to flip the crepe.
• 6 the crepes should be pliable, not crisp, and light brown in color. slice onto a platter, covered with a towel, while you make the rest of the crepes.
