5. Gradually pour 1/3 cup of crêpe batter over the bottom of your pan, turning as you pour to move the batter around and coat the bottom of the pan. Keep turning and pouring until the bottom of the pan is coated, fill any holes with batter as needed.
6. Cook until top looks dry and bottom begins to brown, 30 seconds – 1 minute.
7. Flip crêpe and cook until 2nd side begins to have brown spots, 30 seconds to one minute.
8. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with oil between making each crêpe.
9. Keep crêpes warm in the oven while you make remaining crêpes. – Crêpes may be stored in the fridge and reheated in briefly in the microwave.
