    There are two tricks to making

    perfect crpes: Use a nonstick pan,


    and cook on moderate heat to prevent
    the crpes from overbrowning. If the
    pan starts smoking or the crpes
    become too golden, lower the heat
    slightly. LEAH KUHNE, FOOD SPECIALIST

    Step-by-Step Instructions
    MIX

    Whisk the batter until smooth. Strain out


    any remaining lumps with a ne-mesh sieve.
    SWIRL

    Pour scant cup batter into hot skillet. Tilt


    and swirl the skillet to spread the batter evenly.
    COOK

    Try this combo of cherries,


    sweetened mascarpone and
    melted dark chocolate!
