The crepes we made were very good. This was my first time making crepes and I didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t mix the batter the best so we needed to take some extra time and mix it more. After it was thoroughly we poured it into the pan and we had to make it very thin so we poured just a little bit on the pan. We cooked them very well and everyone did their part to make them taste great!
