  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your crepes will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your crepes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help it develop flavor and consistency.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will make it easier to flip your crepes without them sticking.
  • Cook the crepes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the crepes cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the crepes carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the crepes. Be careful not to tear them.
  • Fill the crepes immediately: Once the crepes are cooked, fill them immediately with your desired fillings. This will help prevent them from drying out.
