For best results, use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking.
Resting the batter is crucial for achieving a tender crêpe. Don't skip this step!
If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
Crêpes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
