Instructions

Let set for about 1 hour
Place a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan preheat.Have some melted butter in a small bowl to use on bottom of pan to cook crepes. Use melted butter (or oil) to coat the bottom of the pan.Using a 3/4 measuring cup, scoop some batter and pour in the center of the hot pan. Tilting the pan around in a circle to spread the batter into a thin layer pancake. This makes us about an 8 inch crepe. The amount of batter you use, depends on the size of the pan and how big or small you would like to make your crepes. *Don't get frustrated, this takes a few crepes to figure out your process. Your batter is fairly runny and thin, so spreading it around isn't too difficult. After about 20 seconds or so the batter goes from a "wet" look to a "matte" look and the bottom should be only slightly browned. That is the time you're ready to flip over. Then cook for another 10-15 seconds. As long as your pan is hot enough and you have enough butter this is very easy. You don't want your pan too hot, but hot enough that this process doesn't take very long either. Now repeat the process: butter, batter, flipNote: you don't have to butter your pan "every" time, but at least every 3. I do everytime, because well... why not!I find using wax paper to put on top of each crepe helps cook them all at once and they don't stick together. Or serve immediately.
Top with your favorite toppings! Here is what we have done: Berries and cream cheese filling, lemon juice and powdered sugar, peanut butter and jelly, hazelnut spread and bananas... the possibilities are endless!
Notes
~Remember, do not get frustrated. The first one or two usually won't be perfect or what you thought they "should" look like. I have made too thick of crepes, too little, an awkward shape, oval... Pretty sure I have done it all! You might get it down quick or it might take you longer. Don't stress, it will still be delicious! Just remember, practice makes perfect, so make crepes often =P
