Crepes - To Make & Store
Ingredients
1 cup cold water and whole milk
4 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 about 1 1/3 cups flour
1 vegetable oil or melted
1 butter
Preparation
In a blender or food processor combine the water, milk, eggs salt and
flour. With a rubber spatula, scrape down any batter which adheres to
the sides of the processor. If the batter appears thick, add more
water; if too thin, then gradually whisk in more flour. Let the
batter set, in the refrigerator for an hour or so.
Rub an 7-inch crepe pan or non-stick pan with oil or melted butter.
Set over high heat until pan just begins to smoke. Ladle about 3
tablespoons of batter into the hot pan. Lift the pan from the heat
and swirl the batter around so that it evenly coats the bottom. Pour
excess back into the batter for the next crepe. Let the crepe cook on
one side for about a minute or until it looks dried out. Flip the
crepe over and cook it for 30 seconds on the other side. Repeat until
all are done.
To store, stack them, with waxed paper or parchment squares in
between each one and freeze in batches.
Yield: about 12 crepes
