I've never made them ahead in quantity, but years ago I made this recipe by Smitten Kitchen for a gateau de crepes and it made a nice big batch of batter, in case that's useful.

I used to make crepes when I was in high school, for French Club fundraisers, and I know for a fact that we used whatever pans and tools my mom already had in the kitchen. So--to answer your question, in one word: no. No special pans or kitchen tools are required.

i had to post..... i found a cast iron crepe pan in goodwill - for $4.99! the pan has the inscription "made in france" molded into the bottom underneath, so i looked it up online... and OMG, it's a $99 pan sold at places like Williams-Sonoma, BBB, and Amazon (the brand name "Staub" is not shown anywhere on the pan).
here's a link of the exact pan: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/produ...eader-spatula/ i don't have the wooden spreader or the spatula, but heck.... for $4.99 i am singing the Goodwill praises! it looks like it's never been used or seasoned, so i'm going to season it. i can see myself making tortillas, eggs, ethiopian flatbread, naan and other yummy things.

by the way, i made 8 crepes last night using one of my mom's non-stick pans. it's kind of old, and the non-stick surface has deteriorated. however, it's the right size. i used a small amount of oil on the pan, and it worked out OK.
but now that i have a REAL pan, i'm hopeful. the WS pan got a solid, 5-star review on the WS site.
