Technique.... How to cook the crepes. Put a small amount of
oil or clarified butter into a 8-inch [20 cm], slope-sided skillet or crepe pan.
Heat over medium to medium high heat. Pour off any
oil that will run off. For easy pouring use a ladle
to pour in 1/4 cup [50 mL] of batter for each crepe, swirling and
tilting skillet to cover bottom evenly. Return to heat. Cook
about 1 minute or until top of crepe is dry and edges are browned
and slightly curled. With a fork, pull edge of crepe away from
skillet, pick up with fingers and turn. Or tilt and shake
skillet to slide edge of crepe just beyond rim and flip crepe.
Cook other side 3 or 4 seconds. Invert pan over a clean
towel. Stack crepes, use immediately, or covered will keep
two hours at room temperature, or up to 3 days in the
refrigerator. To freeze, wrap each crepe in plastic wrap
and wrap again in aluminum foil. .
