Notes
- Rest the Batter: Letting the crepe batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes helps to eliminate bubbles and results in a smoother texture.
- Thin Batter: The consistency of the batter should be thin, similar to heavy cream. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk.
- Non-Stick Skillet: Using a non-stick skillet ensures that the crepes won’t stick and will be easy to flip.
- Even Cooking: Make sure the skillet is evenly heated to cook the crepes uniformly. Adjust the heat as needed.
