Notes
- Achieve a Smooth Batter: Use a blender to combine all the ingredients for a smooth batter!
- Pan Maintenance: Clean the pan every few crepes for the best results. Wipe the pan down with a paper towel if you notice burnt oil or butter.
- Serve Warm Crepes: I love to serve crepes as they're made! There's nothing quite like enjoying a fresh, warm crepe. If you're preparing them in advance, keep them warm by covering the cooked crepes with foil.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftover crepes tightly wrapped in the refrigerator, lasting up to three days.
- Reheating Instructions: To warm up leftover crepes, heat them in a pan on both sides.
