Have you ever watched the art of crepe-making at a restaurant or food stand and become completely mesmerized? I know I have. A wooden spool is used to spread the crepe batter in a circular motion, which forms a delightful paper thin pancake. This clearly takes some practice (and some special equipment), but crepes can be made at home with a good non-stick pan and some pan-tilting skills. Get your crepe fix with this savory kale and mushroom crepe.
