    Crepes are just so fun to make. Whenever I’ve made them for my family I’ve juggled managing 3 or 4 pans at once, and you just get in this groove

        Bro I have 1 crepe pan and it takes ages to make them for my family of four. I be sitting on a stool waiting for 1 to finish. A single one takes longer to make than it takes to prepare it with toppings and eat it. I can’t have it on too high or it’ll burn.

        Tips welcome.

          Honestly I’m not sure what makes mine turn out. I was taught when I was young and don’t have a recipe. I just know the batter by texture / how runny it is. Mine are just flour, milk, sugar, and eggs.

          My batter is more runny; I can pour mine. I pour about 1/2 a cup per crepe. I butter the pan, but not much and re butter it when needed. I find butter makes it more soft and take longer to cook, but that could be in my head.

          I made enough for a family of four in about 1 hour from start to finish. I got out of bed first to make them this morning so no one had to wait for breakfast. This is really my only tip. Cook while everyone sleeps / is still getting dressed.

          Sorry that I don’t have tips.

            We usually have them for dinner here, so starting to make them bright and early in the morning might be a tad too soon 😆

            But yeah it takes me probably an hour to make a full batter as well. Also runny. Having two pans would at least halve that time…

            Anyway, thanks for the tips! 🙏😊

              I’d make them for lunch or dinner too. They’re delicious.

              Ahh so it’s just the process is slow. Why stop at 2 pans? Get 3 or 4. Make them all in 15 minutes!

              I cook slow so 1 hour to make dinner is not anything usual. Prep work with veggies take me forever.
