CRÊPES:

For each crêpe, lightly spray an 8-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray (or you can use oil).
Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into skillet; immediately rotate pan until batter covers the bottom.
Cook until light brown; turn and brown on other side.
Remove from pan and place in ovenproof dish and store in preheated 200° or 250° oven while you prepare all of the crêpes.

Notes
NOTE: A larger skillet can be used if necessary. John makes 1 1/2 batches at a time which makes about 20 crepes. Easily serves 4-6.NOTE: You can also spread warm crêpes with a thin layer of sour cream or butter and then a thin layer of your favorite jellies, jams or preserves. Roll up tightly and place on plate. Sprinkle heavily with powdered sugar. Serve. Another option is to substitute pie fillings or fresh fruit for the jelly if desired.NOTE: This works best with cooking spray or oil. Butter is not recommended to fry the crêpes.NOTE: I prefer using 2% milk in the recipe. I didn't have milk on hand so I substituted some half-and-half and diluted it with some water.
