Pour a small amount of your Crespelle mix into the centre of the frying pan, being sure not to overpour, ideally you want the Crespelle to be at least 30mm from the edge of the pan.
Once the mixture has started cooking and crisping up, shake the pan a little and then use a spatula to turn over the Crespelle.
Continue cooking and flipping until the Crespelle takes on a crispy texture or a slightly stretchy one, generally they will have light brown spots.
Stack cooked Crespelles on a plate and store in a warm oven so they remain warm.
Serve warm on a plate with toppings rolled up or folded inside (sprinkled with icing sugar if sweet).
