¾ cup All Purpose Flour

Pinch of salt

1 ¼ Cups Milk

1 Whole Egg

1 Egg Yolk

As soon as thebatter appears dull and the edges have begun to brown flip it using aspatula. The second side will cook morequickly. Remove the Crêpe from the panand discard it! The first Crêpe justabsorbs the oil from the pan and doesn’t taste good.
