Basic Crepes with Thai Style Filling Recipe (step by step photos)

Crepe is a type of very thin pancake, usually made from wheat flour. The word is of French origin, deriving from the Latin crispa, meaning "curled". While crepes originate from Brittany, a region in the northwest of France, their consumption is widespread in France. In Brittany, crepes are traditionally served with cider. Crepes are served with a variety of fillings, from the most simple with only sugar or elaborate savory fillings. This recipe is adapted from

Ingredients:

For Crepes 

• 1 cup all-purpose flour 
• 2 eggs 
• 1/2 cup milk 
• 1/2 cup water 
• 1/4 teaspoon salt 
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted 

Directions 

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth. 

   2.  Heat a non stick frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or 

        scoop the batter onto the pan, using approximately 1/4

        cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so 

        that the batter coats the surface evenly. 

   3.  Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is
        light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other

        side. Serve hot.

For Filling
