Whether you whisk your ingredients for the crepes or use a blender to make the batter, both are easy options.

  1. Use 1/4 measuring cup to ensure every crepe is the right size.
  2. You want your batter to be a little thinner than traditional pancake mix.

  • Preheat frying pan until its sizzling hot, keeping heat at medium/high. With first crepe use spray oil to pray pan. After the first one you wouldn’t need to do this because crepes already have oil in them. Tip: I use two small frying pans to speed up production..lol
  • By lifting up frying pan with one hand and with other pour in crepe batter. Shifting pan from side to side just to cover the bottom. I flip crepes by lifting corners with a fork.
