  • Cook the Crepes: Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling the batter around to cover the surface thinly and evenly across the bottom. Cook until set, about 20 -30 seconds until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns a light golden color. Use a spatula to carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for an additional 10-20 seconds. Remove from the pan and serve warm.
