How long does it take to make Crêpes?

A cup of flour, 2 eggs and 1½–2 cups of milk: a batter as thin as cream that spreads in the pan into a thin layer.

Step by Step

How to Tell It's Done

• until the edges dry and brown lightly, flip and fry 20–30 more seconds
• until the batter is used up

Tips

• The first crêpe almost always gets tossed: it tests the heat of the pan and the amount of batter.

Common Mistakes

• A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.

More Ways

• A little melted butter in the batter and about half an hour of rest before frying: the crêpe is tender and doesn't tear.
• About a minute on the first side, until the edges dry, and just a few seconds to half a minute on the second.
