Best Crepes
"From the old Tante Marie cookbook. Perfect for both sweet and savoury crepes. This recipe makes a lot of crepes - about 30. That's just fine with me. Ready-made crepes is one of the handiest things to have in the freezer for quick meal fix-ups. If you do freeze them, place a sheet of wax paper between each crepe so they don't stick together. This also helps in making it easier to remove the number you need each time, so you don't have to defrost the entire batch."

ingredients
directions
- Add the milk and water to the flour gradually, beating constantly so that the batter becomes very smooth. Add eggs, salt, oil, and brandy. Beat the batter until smooth and set aside to rest for an hour or two.
- Heat a large frying pan and grease very lightly. Pour a serving spoon of the batter into the frying pan and move the pan around until the entire surface is covered. Both the batter and the resulting crêpe should be thin. When it is brown, turn with a large spatula and cook for a moment on the other side. Continue this process until all the batter is used. Keep the crêpes in a warm place.

I used these for strawberry crepes and they tasted wonderful! I really like the addition of the brandy :) I did however have some trouble with the batter and found them more difficult than my usual crepe recipe. I'm not sure what the issue was but I had a number of them stick to my crepe pan. This hasn't happened before. It resolved itself as soon as I started making them a little thicker than normal. Great tasting though!!! Made for ZWT5 - Ali Bab'as Babes -
Made these this morning for breakfast for DH. Filled them with orange marmalade and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Served with maple syrup and bacon! Yummy! Thanks Ev! Made for ZWT 5 Forgot to mention cut the recipe down and made 6 crepes. No room in the freezer!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
