Notes
Letting the batter rest helps create smoother and more flexible crepes.Use a nonstick pan or crepe pan for the best results.If the batter becomes to thick, add a tablespoon of milk to thin it.Crepes should be very thin, so swirl the batter quickly after pouring it into the pan.Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor and texture.
