Put the heat on the skillet.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt.

In a mixing bowl, add half a cup of flour.

Add a tiny dash of sugar and a tiny dash of salt to the flour.

Crack 1 egg into the bowl with the flour and mix it together.

Add a dash of milk to the mixture, starting with a small amount to keep it thick.

Mix until smooth, ensuring the batter is thick enough to allow the whisk to create threads.

Once the batter is smooth, add more milk to thin it out to the desired consistency.

Pour the melted butter into the batter and mix it in.

Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

Cook until the edges turn brown, then flip the crepe when ready.

Slide the crepe onto a plate, ensuring the nicer side is facing up.

Spread butter on one side of the crepe and add more if needed.

If too much batter is used, return the crepe to the pan to fix the edges.

Use a non-stick skillet, preferably around 8-9 inches in size, for cooking the crepes.

To make the crepes Suzette, start with a piece of butter in a pan.

Add orange zest and juice to the pan with sugar to create a caramel base.

Dip the cooked crepes into the orange mixture and fold them.

Cook the dipped crepes in the pan to allow them to caramelize.

Serve the crepes directly onto plates, one per person.
