We LOVE these crepes! I have to admit I've been making these for some time and have finally gotten around to leaving a review... This is a fail safe recipe, I've never strained the batter, with careful incorporation of the ingredients I've never had lumps in the batter. I mix the dry ingredients first, add the milk and water, whisking briskly, drizzle in the butter, then add the eggs. These cook up beautifully, have a wonderful texture and are just delicious!

Wonderful soft crepes ! they taste magnificent too. You do have to be careful turning them in the pan but with a little care it goes well. Ok, yes It took longer to put the mixture though the sieving process, but the result was worth the effort. Please see my rating system: 5 stars for a simple recipe that just works and works and works... the batter was the perfect consistancy and none of these escaped our hungry family. Thanks!
