Recipe Introduction

To prepare perfect cr�pes, you need a flat round stick pan with a sharp angle between the bottom and borders, a thin and long spatula for turning the cr�pes and a pastry brush to oil the pan with a thin layer of oil before frying each cr�pe. Cr�pes are not to be reheated in a microwave - they become gray and unattractive.

List of Ingredients

3 eggs
2.5 cups of milk
1.5 cups of flour
3 tbsp. of sugar
1/2 tsp. of salt
1 tbsp. of baking soda, mixed w/ vinegar to create a chemical reaction
Olive oil




Recipe

Mix the ingredients and stir them in a blender. Sift the flour before adding it in. Oil the frying pan with a pastry brush. Heat the pan until very hot. Pour the liquid batter onto the pan, and each cr�pe on both sides, until golden. Adjust the heat and frying time to create more tender or crustier cr�pes. Serve with sour cream, jam, or anything else you like.

Makes 20 cr�pes.
