  3. 3
    Heat a flat pan and grease lightly.

    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  4. 4
    Pour in a small ladle of batter and swirl the pan into a thin, even layer.
    Ladle
    💡The first crêpe almost always gets tossed: it tests the heat of the pan and the amount of batter.
  5. 5
    Fry 1–2 minutes, until the edges dry and brown lightly, flip and fry 20–30 more seconds. Repeat until the batter is used up.

    Heat the butter in a skillet and fry the blintzes 2–3 minutes per side, until browned.
