Crêpes

Step 1

In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs, milk and water together. Add the flour carefully then mix it all to form a batter.

Step 2

Place the batter in the fridge and let it rest for at least an hour. Or you could make it the night before and leave it overnight in the fridge.

Step 3

When you are ready to make the crepes, get the batter out of the fridge and get maybe a couple of tablespoons of ice water. Pour it in and mix it around. This just makes the crepes nice and light but its optional and you don’t have to do it.

Step 4

Put a good tablespoon of Crisco in the pan and put over a medium low flame to melt – you want the pan nice and hot otherwise the crepes won’t cook. Check to make sure the Crisco has melted all over the surface of the pan – if you think it looks like too much just pour out the excess.

Step 5

Now you’re ready. Get a ladle and scoop out some batter – not too much – and carefully pour into the pan. Swirl the batter around the pan. You will see bubbles form and that’s ok its cooking. Check underneath carefully with a spatula and if it looks like its cooked underneath (about 1-2 minutes) carefully lift it up and turn upside down to cook the other side. Check again after a minute then slide out of pan and onto a plate.

Step 6

Serve with sugar, (and lemon juice if you’d like) Or bacon and blackberry jam is a really nice breakfast crepe. Syrup is good too.
