French Crêpes

Enough for 5 crêpes:

- 125g plain flour
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 egg
- 200ml milk
- a knob of butter
- 70ml water

  1. Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a large bowl.
  2. Mix together the egg with milk and water.
  3. Slowly add the egg mix into the flour and whisk continuously to make a smooth batter mix.
  4. Melt the knob of butter and stir into the batter mix too.
  5. Ready to cook! Grease a non-stick frying pan with butter, spoon enough batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. Cook and flip the crepe when the edge start to come away from the pan. Cook till both sides are golden.
Ideas: Mushroom, ham and cheese crêpe
Cook some mushrooms with butter in a frying pan. Pour away all the liquids once the mushooms are cooked. Stir in some ham and grated cheese (best is Gruyère). Spoon the filling onto a crêpe and fold into quarters. Bake in 180°C oven for 5 min and serve immediately.
