DIRECTIONS
- Combine eggs, milk and oil in a 2-quart mixing bowl.
- Mix well with wire whisk.
- In small bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
- Mix well.
- Using wire whisk, mix flour mixture into egg mixture.
- Let rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- Lightly grease skillet. I like to use a non-stick saute pan. My husband uses a cast iron skillet. I think both work fine.
- Preheat skillet over medium high heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto hot skillet.
- With a circular wrist motion, swirl pan until batter is evenly covering bottom of pan.
- Cook until edges just start to brown.
- Carefully flip pancake over with a thin spatula. (I like to use a wide one).
- Cook turned crêpe about 20 seconds or until lightly browned.
- Slide onto plate to cool.
- Continue cooking remaining batter using same method.
- Serve hot by spreading with butter and syrup. Or Lingonberry preserves. Or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Then roll up like a crepe and enjoy.
