Why are my crepes rubbery?

Do I flip crepes?

Don't flip it too early. Wait until the surface of your crêpe is no longer shiny and the edges are starting to brown before you try and flip your crêpe. If you flip it too early it will tear.

How do you flip a crepe without it breaking?

Let the dow/sauce stand in the fridge for a while (~30 min) so the flour expands, makes them easier to flip. I make crepes roughly 5-6 days a week for a living. Just flip it like an omelette. A great way to practice this motion is to put rice in your pan and once you can get the motion down you're set.

How do you know when a crepe is done?

You can use the spatula to flip, but your fingers are your best tool: lift an edge, peel the crepe up, then gently turn it over (just don't touch the pan). The second side cooks in about half the time as the first. You'll know it's done when the bottom is lightly golden. Like pancakes, the first crepe is never perfect.

Why are my crepes not cooking?

Are your crepes coming out undercooked or too thick? You're likely pouring too much crepe batter into the pan. The crêpe should be thin, not thick like a pancake, or else it won't cook properly. Two to four tablespoons of crepe batter is all the batter you need for one crepe.

Should crepe batter be runny?

Crepe batter shouldn't be the consistency of pancake batter. It should be extremely thin! Use a ladle to test the mixture's thickness and make sure it has the consistency of heavy cream — almost liquid. If you've found that it's too thick, make a thinner batch, then add both batches together to correct the problem.
