- For that rich smoothness, add melted butter and whisk everything together until it is free of lumps.
- Now you can move on to cooking the crepes. Take one of your non-stick pans and put it over medium heat.
- With a ladle, take small quantities of the batter, and pour it evenly on the pan.
- You have to make sure to cook each side of this batter for at least one to two minutes, or until you see it turning into a beautiful crepe.
