Instructions
- Mix till smooth: one cup sifted flour and teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat two eggs and two egg yolks.
- Gradually add one and cups of milk to the eggs.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Let the batter stand for two (2) hours. It will be thin.
- The batter must be thin enough so just a little can be swirled to cover a buttered pan. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter per crepe.
- Heat a lightly buttered crepe pan or skillet over medium heat. Pour out any excess butter.
- Swirl the batter to cover the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, until the batter sets.
- Flip the crepe and cook for about 1 more minute on the other side.
- The crepe must be very thin and delicately brown.
- Cool crepes separately and then stack with paper towels or wax paper between each layer. They can be covered and refrigerated or frozen.
- To serve, heat filled crepes in a buttered pan to serving temperature.
Note
Serve with a sauce, if you wish (e.g., Mornay for creamed seafood, Hollandaise for spinach filling, etc.).
