Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes.

  • Tilt and Swirl
    Mix the batter and pour it into a 1/4 cup measure and then pour it in the middle of the pan. Gently spread the batter with the cup. It is similar to making Indian dosa. Make crepe around 6-7 inches.
  • Cook, Shimmy, And Flip
    Cook the crepe for 1 1/2 minutes or the top part of the crepe becomes dull and brown edges. You can touch using a finger to see if it cooked or not. Gently lift edges of crepe using a spatula from the downside. Using your other hand fingers, grip and flip the crepe and cook for 15-20 seconds.
  • Stack
    Take out the crepe from the pan and keep it on a plate. Apply some butter by utilizing a spatula and stack the crepes over the top. Put it in the fridge to chill off.
  • Assemble
    Preheat your oven to 175 F degrees.
    Heat the non-stick pan on medium or low heat. When the pan becomes hot, place the crepe on it and pour 1/4 cup of grated cheese. Keep the ham over one side of the crepe and let it melt for one minute. Fold the one side of crepe without making a half-circle of ham. Then again fold and make a quarter circle. Keep it filled with crepe over the platter in the warm oven. Continue until the whole of the crepes has been fulfilled.
