Crêpes

Ingredients

• 500 g flour (4.5 cups)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
• 12 ounces beer (1 can)
• 500 ml milk (2 cups)

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix flour/salt/baking powder - add oil, rum and eggs - mix very well until dough is nice and smooth.

2. 2

   Add milk progressively and then beer.

3. 3

   Let the mix stand for at least an hour before cooking.

4. 4

   If mix is too thick, add some water until you reach desired consistency (should be quite liquid).

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick or lightly greased skillet over medium heat.

6. 6

   Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, quickly rotating and tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook the crepe until golden underneath, about 1 minute and then flip it over and cook for about another minute.

7. 7

   Remove from pan, and repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the cooked crepes warm by covering with a towel.

   Fill the crepes with your favorite toppings and roll burrito style or folded over.
