Required Kitchen Tools
When preparing Marquesitas at home, having the right tools makes all the difference:
- Crepe Pan or Non-Stick Skillet (10"): to cook the thin batter evenly.
- Spatula: to flip and roll your Marquesitas.
- Mixing Bowl & Whisk/Blender: for smooth batter preparation.
- Cheese Grater: to shred the Edam cheese finely.
