IN an inch OF water. Cover loosely with plastic or wrap THE cut ends IN a wet paper towel. Store wrapped IN plastic IN THE refrigerator FOR up TO three days.

4. Place THE pan back on THE burner AND cook until it just begins TO brown underneath AND THE top surface looks set, about 1 minute. Using THE edge OF a spatula, loosen THE edge OF THE crepe from
THE pan AND flip (your fingers work best at this point!) Cook just until browned lightly, about 1 minute. Transfer THE crepe TO a plate. Repeat with THE remaining batter, stacking THE crepes
directly on top OF one another when cooked.
