    Blend on high speed until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.

    Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and flip the crepe.

Note

The ingredient "Minute" likely refers to the cooking time per side or a specific brand of quick-cooking flour, but in the context of traditional crepes, all-purpose flour is standard. If using instant flour, no resting time is needed, but resting improves texture.

For best results, ensure the skillet is hot but not smoking before adding the batter. If the batter is too thick, add a splash more water or milk.

These crepes can be stacked and frozen for later use. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

While the title says "No Bake," this is a stovetop recipe. "No bake" in this context likely distinguishes it from baked cakes or quiches.
