When my wife makes crepes, she mixes the recipe the night before in a jug. I don't know why (sorry!) but they turn out delicious and she swears this step is important. Lovely and thin, with a good consistency. I've also no idea if they are legit 'French crêpes'.
The recipe is:
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/3 cup milk (half milk half water usually too!)
- 2 tblspoons of melted butter
The first 3 are combined the night before and whizzed up, then left in the fridge. The melted butter you do on the morning of -- melt it in the pan then tip it into the other mixture and stir it a little. Having made it the night before is ideal if you're visiting a friend in the morning, too.
Your pan technique sounds identical to us : ) ... enjoy!
