• Now you can spread the crepe for example with jam and roll it. Pull the plug when you have finished the desired amount of crepes .

Please note

• During operation the control lamp will switch between green and red. This indicates that the device maintains the temperature .
• Do not use the device for cooking or defrosting of frozen food .
• Use only thawed food .
• Moisture the crepes dough spreader a little bit so that the dough will not stick so easy .
• Reduce the temperature if the crepes are too brown .
• For mini pan-cakes place a little amount of dough on the baking surface and bake it until the pan cake can easily be released . Then you can turn the mini pan cakes and bake them until they have the desired browning.

Basic Recipe

• Ingredients (for 20 portions):
• 250 g flour, 3 eggs , 500 ml milk, 1 pinch of salt.
