CREPE BATTER
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1. Combine flour and salt in medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
2. In small mixing bowl whisk together eggs, water, whole milk and melted butter. Add mixture to dry ingredients. Whisk until batter is smooth.
3. Cover bowl and let batter rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or in the refrigerator overnight. This rest allows the flour to expand and thicken the batter.
4. Heat 12-inch non-stick skillet, over medium-heat, about 3-5 minutes or until a drop of water sizzles off the surface.
5. Lightly grease bottom of skillet with vegetable oil or butter. If excess oil or butter remains on the skillet surface, wipe off with a paper towel before adding batter.
6. Add 3 tablespoons of crepe batter to heated skillet. Immediately, lift skillet while swirling batter to side of skillet. Cook crepe until golden brown around the edge. Flip crepe once and continue to cook until golden, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Remove crepe from pan and place browned side down on a plate. Cover crepes with plastic or foil to keep moist.
