Step 1:





Over medium heat, in a crepe (or non-stick) pan, spread a very thin layer of ****er.

Drop 1/3 cups of batter into the pan, swirl around until there is a very thin layer of batter evenly distributed.

Cook 3-4 minutes until the edges curl up and get brown. Do not flip the crepe; you only want to cook 1 side.

Watch as your crepe undercooks or overcooks, and adjust your heat accordingly.

Don't worry, it takes a while to get this right, you may have to throw away a couple.

Slide the finished crepes cooked-side down onto greased cookie sheets and reserve.

Step 2:





Toss your bacon in the freezer for 10 minutes to make it easier to cut. When firm, cut into 1/4 inch strips

Over a medium heat, render the fat from the bacon until the bacon is medium-crispy and reserve the bacon itself.
