How to make Crepes
Making crepes is not as difficult as it sounds. Starting with a big mixing bowl, combine all of your ingredents. For this particular recipe, mix in your fresh chopped rosemary as well.
The best practice with making crepes if you have the time, is to chill the batter in the fridge over night to really get those air bubbles out. If you dont have that time (I almost never do, dont worry), tap the bottom of the bowl a few times firmly on the counter to try to dislodge those air bubbles yourself.
Heat your non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with a little bit of butter melting on the pan.
- Hold the pan off the heat and pour a quarter cup of batter onto one side of the pan.
- Begin to swirl the batter around the hot pan until the entire bottom is coated.
- Place the pan back on the heat and let it cook for about a minute or two.
- Flip gently and cook again for about a minute.
- Take off the heat and begin to fill.
