If you have ever wondered how to get your crepes looking like the ones the professionals make? These tips should help:

Step 1 - Hotplate

Make sure you hotplate is ready before you start otherwise your crepe will end up soggy.

Step 2 - Pouring

Use a ladle to pour your crepe batter. One good ladle full for one good sized crepe.

Make sure your crepe is flat on the hotplate once flipped.

Step 6 - Filling

Spread your favourite filling on the top of the flipped crepe.

Lossen up the edges of the crepe, ready for folding.

Step 8 - Folded in Half

Fold your crepe in half and flatten ready to fold again.

Step 9 - Second Fold

Fold the crepe in half again, and then in half again.

Step 10 - All Folded

Once you have finished folding, transfer the crepe to a plate.

Step 11 - Finishing

Finish off the crepe by dusting with icing sugar.

You should now have a perfect crepe, ready to eat. If you don't, come and see Marc and let him make one for you instead!
