      Title: Basic crepe recipe
 Categories: Appetizers
      Yield: 4 servings
 
  1 1/2 c  Flour
      1 ts Sugar
    1/8 ts Salt
      3    Eggs
  1 1/2 c  Milk
      2 tb Butter or oil; melted/cooled
 
  Mixing crepes by hand.
  
  Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.  Break the eggs into another
  bowl and mix until yolks and whites are blended.  Make a hole in the
  middle of the dry ingredients and pour in beaten eggs.  (French chefs
  often break the eggs right into the dry ingredients but this makes
  mixing more difficult.
  
  Stir the flour mixture into the eggs little by little.  The dough
  will be difficult to work and it may be necessary to add a little
  milk (or whatever liquid is used in the particular recipe) to
  incorporate all the flour. Add the liquid a spoonful at a time and
  mix it in thoroughly before adding more liquid.  When the mixture
  becomes easy to work (when about half of the liquid has been used)
  the remainder can be added in two portions.
  
  Add melted butter (and flavorings if indicated).
  
  Mix again, cover and set aside for at least an hour but not more than
  6 hours at room temperature.  Crepe batter can be held overnight in
  the refrigerater.  If necessary, the crepe batter can be cooked
  immediately, but the "resting" time allows the flour to absorb more
  liquids, makes the mabber easier to handle, and gives the crepes more
  flavor.  Since flours vary in their ability to absorb liquid, if the
  crepe batter seems too thick when you are ready to cook it, a small
  amount of extra liquid can be added at this time.  The consistency
  could be at least as thin as heavy cream.
