Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp. water
1/2 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 tbsp. butter, melted and cooled
Some butter for the pan
1/2 tsp. salt
Methods/steps
Blend flour, water, milk, eggs, butter, and salt for 5 seconds.
Turn the motor off and scrape sides down, with a rubber spatula.
Transfer the batter into a bowl and let it stand, covered, for 1 hour.
The batter may be made up to one day in advance.
Heat a 7-8 inch crepe or non-stick skillet over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking and remove from heat.
Brush the pan as necessary with butter.
Stir the batter, half fill a 1/4-cup measure with it, and pour the batter into the pan.
Tilt and rotate the pan quickly to cover the bottom with a thin layer of batter and return any excess batter to the bowl.
Return the pan to the heat, loosen the edge of the crepe with a spatula, and cook the crepe until the under side is browned lightly.
Turn the crepe, brown the other side lightly and transfer to a plate.
Crepes can be made in advance, stacked, wrapped in plastic and stored refrigerated for 3 days or frozen.
