Whisk the rice-flour batter well. When the oil is hot, pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet, tilting and shaking the pan to evenly coat the bottom with batter. Cover and cook over moderate heat until the crpe is firm, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, flip the crpe and cook for 30 seconds longer. Flip the crpe out flat onto a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter to make a total of 18 crpes; don't let the crpes overlap on the baking sheets or they will stick together.
