TO MAKE CREPES.

In a bowl, using a hand held electric mixer, beat eggs until light and fluffy.

Add milk, water, flour and salt and beat until all ingredients are incorporated and batter is smooth.
4
Heat a 6 inch frying pan on medium heat.
5
Butter the pan lightly and pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling the pan until the batter spreads evenly in the pan.
6
Cook crepes on medium heat for about 1 minute or until lightly browned.
7
Bake on 1 side only, do not turn over.
8
Continue to cook the crepes, buttering the frying pan each time.

Separate and place 1 crepe with the brown side down on a smooth surface.
