Crepes: thin pancake starts from the distribution of the mixture

Useful to know

A crepe is a thin pancake made by spreading batter over the pan’s base. King Arthur’s Parisian Street Vendor Crêpes uses flour, milk, eggs and butter, with a rest before cooking. [1]

Tilting the pan produces a thin layer instead of a thick mound. Filling is added after cooking, then the crepe can be folded or rolled. Shared ingredients do not make crepes and thicker pancakes identical: consistency and distribution differ. Choose a pan that can be moved safely.
