18. 18

    Add the flour gradually, while stirring with the whisk.

19. 19

    The batter should be smooth and fairly thin.

20. 20

    Add water if the batter seems thicker than heavy cream.

    As soon as the batter is in the pan, swirl and tilt the pan until the batter coats the bottom of the pan with a thin layer.

27. 27

    Work quickly doing this so the batter spreads out before it starts to cook.

    Cook on one side for about 30 seconds or until set, then turn the crepe over using a spatula and flip it over to cook the other side just a few seconds.

29. 29

    Make crepes one at a time, brushing the skillet lightly with melted butter before each is made.
