Crêpes

I find making these things finicky and annoying but it is time to get over it. This is the recipe my wife recounts from memory and I write it down here so I won't forget. Apparently it is based on Julia Childs' recipe. As follows:

Ingredients:

• I cup plain flour


• pinch of salt


• 3 eggs


• 2/3 cup milk


• 2/3 cup water


• 1 tablespoon butter

Method:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and salt.


2. Crack in the three eggs.


3. Whisk the flour and eggs while adding the milk and then water. Whisk so as to prevent lumps forming in the batter.


4. Add the butter and whisk some more.


5. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.


6. Cook on a crêpe pan.


7. Mess it up 50 times and hardly ever get it right. At least that's how I do it!
