    Heat a flat 24 cm pan and grease lightly with the fat.

    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  4. 6
    Pour in quarter cup batter and swirl the pan into a thin, even layer.

    💡The first crêpe almost always gets tossed: it tests the heat of the pan and the amount of batter.
  5. 7
    Fry about 1 minute, until the edges lift and brown, and flip. Immediately arrange the cheese over half the crêpe and leave 1 more minute over low heat, until the cheese starts to melt. Transfer to a plate open, and repeat until the batter is used up.
