Fridge or Cooking right now ?

9. After blending you may cool the batter in the fridge, or cook the crepes right away

10.  If you place the batter in the fridge, you will need to give it a mix afterwards

Baking

11. You may use a non-stick crepe pan, or an electric crepe maker. I prefer the non-stick pan, but that is just because I am used to cook my crepes this way

12. You may use an electric appliance : To purchase online, see HERE

13. Spray some oil

14. Pour about a ladle depending on how thick you like your crepes
