How to Keep Crepes Warm

Crepes complement a variety of warm fruit fillings.

Crepes are a thin batter bread suitable for wrapping around both savory and sweet fillings.These pancake-like disks have a slightly spongy texture that complements a variety of warm fillings. Making crepes is similar to making pancakes. You can only make one at a time in a crepe pan. A large griddle allows you to make four or five at once, but a full recipe makes 10 or more crepes. Keeping the first ones finished warm while you finish preparing the rest ensures everyone gets a fresh, hot crepe. Does this Spark an idea?
