Original French Crêpes

I was in the middle of making the batter for the crêpes this morning, when I thought, maybe some of you would like an orginal French recipe for making pancakes. So I decided to share the recipe which I have used for ever for our pancakes on Shroves/Pancake Tuesday.
It is quick, easy to make and the pancakes are light and delicious.  You can fill them with anything you like, sweet or savoury or simply eat them with sugar and lemon.


Ingredients


150 g plain flour
3 medium to large eggs
1 cup of milk
1/4 cup of water
1/2 tsp salt 
3 tbsp butter melted and cooled

Method

Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix until you have a smooth batter.You get best results if you let the  batter rest for at least of an hour in the fridge.
To make the crêpes, heat a little butter and oil in a pan, if you have a special crepe pan all the better. Use approx 2 tbsp of batter , pour into pan and swivel the pan so that batter covers the pan.
After about a minute turn the crêpe and cook further min or until slightly brown.

Best eaten immediately.          Bon Appétit 

PS this is probably the quickest I have put up a recipe on my blog!
