Julia Childs crepes

1 C. cold milk
1 C  cold water
4 eggs
4 Tbls melted butter
1/2 tsp. salt

Put the liquids, eggs, and salt into the blenderjar.  add the flour, then the butter. Cover and blend at top speed for 1 minute.  If bits of flour stick to the sides of the jar, dislodge with a rubber scarper and blend for 2to3 seconds more.  (I halved this recipe)


Crepe batter should be made at least 2 hours before it is to be used.  This allows the flour particles to expand in the liquid and insures a tender, light, thin crepe.

The batter should be a very light cream, just thick enough to coat a wooden spoon.  If, after making your first crepe, it seems too heavy or thick beat in a bit of water, a spoonful at a time.  Your cooked crepe should be about 1/16th inch thick.



spread cooked crepe with Nutella, jelly, savory leftovers ect...YUM!
