Once your pan is hot, brush a dash of cooking oil, lift your pan off the stove, tilt it whichever angle, pour the batter as you rotate the pan in order to have a smooth crepe. Place the pan back on the stove, let it cook for 1 min and flip to the other for another minute. Repeat the steps, till all the crepes are cooked. Set them aside on a plate.

First, remove the thin membrane of the sausages, and throw it away. Cook the sausages for about 6 to 8 mins while you keep breaking them into pieces.
