Crepes

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

3 eggs

1-1/3 cups milk

2/3 cup water

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

Instructions

Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder. Beat the eggs, and add to the milk and water. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid. Combine quickly. Do not overmix.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a 5-inch skillet. Add the remaining butter or margarine as needed while cooking the crepes. Pour in a small quantity of batter, enough to spread thinly over the bottom or the skillet. Cook over moderate heat until the pancake is brown underneath, then turn and brown the other side lightly. The crepes may be stacked with foil between each one until ready to be stuffed.
