Like the banh xeo (sizzling grain crepes), have all the feaures all set to go and within achieve--batter, filling, a functional station (mother utilizes a large round aluminum tray--brushed gently with oil), bowl of oil (any neutral oil) along with a brush.
Warm up a sizable nonstick pan to medium high temperature. Brush on the very light layer of oil and ladle around the well mixed batter and immediately tilt and swirl the pan around to evenly coat the pan. You will need to make use of your judgement around the quantity based on what size your pan/ladle is. Cover about thirty seconds and also the crepe ought to be nearly transparant.
