French Pancakes or Crêpes

Serving suggestion: 

 

Prep and cook time:

15 minutes prep, 30 minutes
 

Makes:

4 servings

 Ingredients: 

  ¾ cup All-purpose flour
 

½ tsp

Salt
 

1 tsp

Double-acting baking powder
 

2 tbsp

Powered sugar
 

2

Eggs
 

2/3 cup

Milk

 

1/3 cup

Water

 

½ tsp

Vanilla

 Directions:

  1. In a hot skillet, swirl a small pat of butter.  It should almost sizzle, but not to the point of smoking. 

  2. Pour in a bit of the crepe batter.  Tilt the pan so that the batter covers the bottom thinly.  The crepe should cook very quickly, in about a minute. 

  3. When the crepe looks dry, flip it and cook for about 30 seconds. 

  4. Remove and serve.  We like to use lemon and powered sugar, but you can think up your own fillings.  Good for dinner too, with ham and gruyere cheese.
