Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water plus 2 tbsp
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. In a blender of food processor blend the flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, the milk, the eggs, the butter, and the salt for 5 seconds.
  2. Turn off the motor, with a rubber spatula scrape down the sides of the container, and blend the batter for 20 seconds more.
  3. Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it stand, covered, for 1 hour. (The batter may be made up to 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled)
  4. Heat a crepe pan or non-stick skillet measuring 6 to 7 inches across the bottom over moderate heat until it is hot.
  5. Brush the pan lightly with the butter, heat the pan until it is hot but now smoking, and remove it from the heat.
  6. Stir the batter, half fill a 1/4 cup measure with it, and pour the batter into the pan.
  7. Tilt and rotate the pan quickly to cover the bottom with a thin layer of batter and then turn the pan to the heat, loosen the edge of the crepe until the underside is browned lightly.
  8. Turn the crepe, brown the other side lightly and transfer the crepe to a plate.
  9. Make crepes with remaining batter in the same manner, brushing with butter as necessary.
  10. Crepes may be stacked with waxed paper in between in each one and placed in a zippered baggy. Place in refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
