Note 1: After making the first crepe, I typically switch off the heat (because skillet is usually pretty hot by then), spoon another scope of batter to skillet, move it in circular motion, then switch the heat back on again so that it cooks. You want the skillet fairly hot when you put the batter in, but a pan that is too hot will prevent the the batter from spreading out, that is why I switch off the heat and switch it back on again.
