Ingredients

1 C flour

2 Tbl extra-fine sugar (if using for sweet fillings)

1 pinch of salt

2 whole eggs

2 extra yolks

1 1/4 C milk

1/3 C unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Crepes

Combine flour, sugar (if using) and salt in a mixing bowl.

Make a well in center, break in eggs, then add extra yolks

Add half the milk and gradually work into the flour with a whisk

Beat lightly and smoothly, but do not over-mix.

Add remaining milk gradually, whisking gently until will combined

Transfer to a batter-bowl or pitcher, cover loosely and leave in cool place for 30 minutes

Stir 1/4 C melted butter into batter before using

Lightly brush a small frying pan (6 in) or crepe pan with a little of the remaining butter and heat until hot.

Holding pan, pour in about 1/4 C of batter and tilt from side to side so batter runs into a thin, even layer across bottom of pan

Place over moderate heat and cook about 1 minute or until crepe is brown around the edges and begins to curl away from pan

Slide a palette knife or thin spatula under the crepe and flip it over; cook for an additional minute. Turn out onto wire rack lined with a clean tea towel and parchment, fold towel over crepe to keep moist,

Cook remaining batter, stacking crepes between sheets of parchment until all batter is used. Can be frozen; thaw before separating

Thanks Pat. Have to say I love crepes but have always been afraid to make them at home. Maybe because they seem to thin and delicate. Think I will try though.

Add a tablespoon of brandy. It tenderizes the crepes nicely. Also let the batter sit for half an hour before preparing. Learned this in a French cooking class a long time ago and my crepes always come out so nice!
