Method for making crepes. The first crepe is the trial one to test out the consistency of your batter, the exact amount you will need for the pan, and the heat. Batter should be the consistency of light cream, just thick enough to coat a wooden spoon. Your crepe should be about 1/16" thick. If, after making your 1st crepe, the batter seems too heavy, beat in a little water, a spoonful at a time.
