Ingredients

  • 6 oz Plain Flour
  • 1 tspn Salt
  • 1 Tbspn Sugar if making for dessert
  • 2 each Eggs
  • ¾ Pint Milk
  • 2 oz Butter melted

Instructions

  • Mix the flour and salt then mix in the eggs to form a paste.
  • Whisk in the milk, slowly to avoid any lumps.
  • Add the butter and strain the mixture
  • Can be used immediately, however, best if set aside for 2 hours before using.
  • Heat a small frying pan and rub with a little melted butter or oil.
  • Pour in a little of the batter from a ladle, quickly tilting the pan and rotating it slightly to result in a thin coating and a crepe forming in the pan. This technique might take a little practice at first but is not difficult to master.
  • When lightly browned on the first side, flip and brown quickly before transferring to a plate and repeating the operation.

*** Mixture should be the consistency of heavy cream.

    Crepes freeze well if you have extra or want to keep on hand for quickly making an easy dish.
