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.

This recipe is now a staple in my kitchen. So versatile!! I love them with blackberries and a little sour cream. Try adding a little cinnamon to the batter and serve with cooked apples and caramel. You can also add some finely chopped pecans just after you pour the batter in the pan. Fill these with strawberries and bananas and top with wipped cream and a little shaved dark chocolate. Use your imagination, the possibilities are limitless!!

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!
