The guide to perfectly flipped foods
Crepes
The initial crepe of the batch is often a flop, especially if your pan is not hot enough yet. So don't give up too soon! Heat your pan and grease thoroughly with butter (or oil if you prefer). Spread a ladle of batter evenly across the pan, and allow to cook until the bottom is browned. Then gently lift one edge of the crepe and slide your spatula under it. Flip the crepe in one swift motion, and cook for about 10 seconds until the other side is lightly browned. When you feel up to it, you can also try flipping with just a flick of the pan. Loosen the crepe first, then lift the pan and jiggle it to ensure that the crepe is not sticking anywhere. To flip the crepe, snap the pan away from you and upwards in one firm, simultaneous movement.
