I am trying to make crepes for breakfast for my girlfriend this morning but I have never made them before. Can you help me out?
user
Great, I have a recipe for crepes.
assistant
Terrific! Let's hear it!
user
The recipe is:

100 g egg

125 g flour

60 g milk

60 g water

20 g butter

Put the flour and egg in a bowl. Mix it well.
assistant
What do I do with the rest of the ingredients that you listed? There has to be more to it than mixing the flour and egg, right?
user
In this case I'm guessing the rest is the ingredients. I know that's not very clear, but my intuition tells me that there is some combination of those four ingredients that will work.
assistant
So you are not sure how to mix the ingredients then? That's too bad. I was really looking forward to trying this out.
user
Oh, I see what you mean now. I do understand how to do it, I'm just not sure what is meant by "put it in the bowl". But if I'm allowed to make a guess, that must mean to put each of the ingredients in the bowl separately, because there is no way to combine flour, egg, milk, and water in a single cup. Then, you will need to mix all the ingredients in the bowl. I know that the recipe says "mix it well", but you might need to beat it with a fork for it to be well mixed.
assistant
So after I have mixed it and beaten it with a fork, what do I do?
user
The recipe says that the crepe batter should be "spoonfuls" to the pan. It's a bit confusing, but it sounds like you're supposed to pour spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan.
assistant
Okay. How hot should the pan be?
user
To cook crepes, the pan should be heated over a medium heat. You could use a crepe pan, which is a special pan that has a crepe maker built into it, but a regular frying pan with a heavy base works just fine.
assistant
Okay. I have a heavy frying pan. How long should I cook them?
user
After the pan is hot, you will start to cook the crepes by tilting the pan, so that the batter fills the pan. This makes a thin pancake that will cook quickly, but it's a technique that you'll probably need to get used to. After the crepe is cooked and cooled, you can use it to roll other foods like sausage, ham, cheese, or mushrooms. Just fold it in half or roll it up like a burrito, as you like.

assistant

user
There are two factors that affect how long the crepes will take to cook. The first factor is temperature. The temperature of the pan should be about 250-300 degrees, which is a medium heat. The second factor is the thickness of the crepe. For the crepes in the recipe, the thinness of the batter was a pretty important factor. To be clear, a thin crepe is only a 1/4 to 1/2 an inch thick. The batter should be very thin. The thinner the batter is, the quicker it will cook. Since you don't have a crepe pan, you'll have to cook the crepes on the stovetop, so it might take a bit longer than they did in the recipe, but still I'd expect the batter to be done after about 30 seconds to a minute. If you put it on too long it will get burned.
