With either pancakes or crepes, the heat has to be a low to medium, as they cook quickly, and you don't want to burn them.

No need to use a lot of butter or oil, just a small drop would do, especially if you pan is a non-stick one.

I find that the spray cooking oil works the best, as you can better control the amount of oil used - I recommend using it even if you have a non-stick frying pan.
