Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 6 -8 eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil (you can substitute sweet butter)
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • oil or butter, for the pan

Method

  • First, combine the flour, eggs, salt and oil in a large bowl so you have plenty of room to whisk and combine these ingredients well. Then add about a quarter of the milk and mix till smooth.
  • When it is smooth, add the balance of the milk all at once and mix gently until you have achieved a homogenous batter --NO LUMPS (Sans Grumeaux!).
  • Then let the batter sit at room temperature for at least half an hour -- Now your batter is ready.
  • Heat your skillet or, if you are lucky enough to have one, your crepe pan, add oil or butter or a combination of both--just enough to give the pan's surface a sheen, and add just enough batter to make a very thin veil across the pan.
  • Then, using a spatula, carefully turn your crepe once it begins to brown around the edges and cook it on the other side.
  • When it is lightly browned on both sides, remove it from the pan and lay it on a warm plate.
  • Repeat the process, stacking your crepes one on top of the other.
