Steps:
- Mix everything together. It will have lumps in it, try and get them out, but if you cannot, that's okay.
- Heat a fry pan (preferably non stick) on medium high, and add some cooking spray.
- Pour all the batter into the pan, leave it for a few seconds, then swirl it around slowly to make it nice and flat and round.
- Cook on one side until it is completely dry on top, then flip over. This is much more tender than a regular crepe, so be careful. It should be a bit brown on the bottom. Cook on the other side until it is satisfactorily brown.
