Then pour about ¼ cup of crepe batter in hot pan, tilting the pan and rolling the batter in a circular motion to coat all around pan.

Start cooking crepes until it starts to brown and the batter on top is no longer wet, about 30 seconds to 1 minutes or more if needed.

Take a spatula and run around the edge of the crepe to left it a little, when it looks like it’s ready. Flip crepe over with big spatula or flip it over by tossing in the air.

Fry about another 30 seconds to a minute on the other side using more oil if needed.
