Our Crepes

Crepes
This recipe was given to me by one of my daughters childhood friends mother That's a mouth full. Julia's friend, Seriell, who was from Switzerland, but moved to Denver, invited her many times to her house to play. Seriell's mother would make these crepes for the girls.

1 cup flour
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tbs. sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg plus 2 egg yolks
2 tbs.  half-n-half
Mix all the ingredients together and put batter in frig. for 2 hours.
Heat skillet with small amount of butter or non stick spray.
Put small amount of batter on skillet and turn the batter from side to side so that the crepe is thin in the pan. Turn over when edges are brown around the sides.

Yum Yum!
