Special Precautions and Tips:

• Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough crepes.
• If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk. If it is too thin, add a little more flour.
• Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking, as this helps the gluten to relax and results in more tender crepes.
• Cook the crepes over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
• If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a regular non-stick skillet.
