Author's Notes

Don’t worry if that first crepe fails, it’s normal. The pan might not be at the right temperature yet. I normally put my pan over maximum heat for 10 minutes without using it and then I lower the heat until I find the perfect balance between the heat and the pan.

Pour the Milk (2 cups) and Caster Sugar (1/4 cup) in a large saucepan and add the Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp) and Vanilla Essence (2 drops).
