Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to spoon the batter into the pan. Dump it in the middle, then pick up the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom of the pan thinly. When you see a bit of brown on the edges, and the batter looks dry on top, flip it. This doesn't take very long if your pan was hot to start with, so don't walk away! The flip is the second trick to making good crepes. It takes some practice. After flipping to the second side with a spatula, it takes maybe 15-30 seconds until you flip it out of the pan and onto a plate.
