Tips:
- To make sure your crepes are thin and even, use a non-stick skillet and make sure it is hot before adding the batter.
- If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a regular frying pan. Just make sure it is large enough to hold the crepe batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan with crepes. Cook them in batches of 2-3 at a time.
- If you are making the crepes ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat the crepes, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and heat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
