Make the crepes, you should get 10-12 crepes about 21/22cm diameter. Approximately in a 22cm pan I put 1/3 cup of crepes mixture. Warm a nonstick pan and add a ladle of butter (just for the first one). When warm add the crepes mixture. Move the pan in a circular motion until the dough is spread uniformly in the bottom, or use a spatula to help the dough to spread. Cook on medium heat until the border of the crepes becomes dry and starts to come off the pan, then flip it and cook few min on the other side.
