Basic Crepe






Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in

smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop

with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
