Basic Crepes

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Basic Crepes 

 4 eggs                                                   

1 ½ cups milk                                  

1 ½ tsp. sugar

1/8 tsp salt

1 cup flour

butter, softened   

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar and salt.  Add flour; beat until smooth.  Let stand for 30 minutes.  Melt 1 tsp. butter in skillet or on griddle (set to 300-350 degrees).  Pour 2 Tbl.- 1/3 cup batter into center of skillet.  Lift and turn skillet to cover bottom with batter.  If using griddle, spread out with spoon or back of measuring cup.  Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown other side.  Remove to wire rack; cover with paper towel.  Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to pan as needed.  When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.  *First crepe usually turns out funny, so don’t worry if you have to get rid of the first one.
