Title:
Basic Crepes - Great Chefs

Yield:
12 Crepes

Categories:
Pancakes




Ingredients:




-----------------------------------CREPES-----------------------------------


     2 c  Flour


     2 tb Sugar


     2 lg Eggs


     2 c  Milk


     2 tb Oil, cooking






      Combine the flour, sugar, eggs, and milk and beat until smooth. The


 resulting batter should be the consistency of thin cream.


 


      Add oil to the batter and mix lightly.


 


      Grease an 8-inch crepe pan or frying pan lightly with butter and heat


 until the butter is quite hot but not burned.


 


      Ladle about 1/3 cup (or a bit less) of the batter into the pan and


 rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook the crepe until it looks


 firm and is lightly browned at the edges (about 1 minute) then turn the


 crepe over with a thin spatula or your fingers and cook the other side for


 about 30 seconds.


 


      Grease the pan with a bit more butter about every other crepe, or when


 the crepes begin to stick.


 


      Repeat until the batter is gone.
