Preparazione

1. 1

   For crepes: Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat and melt 2 teaspoons butter. Pour ⅓ cup of the crepe mixture into the pan and swirl to create an even, thin coat. Allow the crepe to cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Lift the crepe from the pan with a spatula and transfer to a plate. Cover with parchment paper to avoid drying out. Repeat process at least 3 more times, for a total of 4 crepes.
