INSTRUCTIONS
Sift the
flour and salt together into a bowl and make a well in the center.
Add 1 ¼ cups of the milk and the sugar and gradually whisk the
flour into it. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking just until blended.
Then whisk in the remaining liquid. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
Heat a 10 inch crepe pan over medium high heat. Brush the pan with some of the
clarified butter, and using a ¼ cup measure, pour the batter into the
center of the pan. Quickly turn and shake the pan until the batter coats the
bottom. Let cook until the crepe is golden brown and beginning to curl at the
edges, about 1 ½ minutes. Gently pull the crepe up using a wooden spoon
or plastic spatula, and turn it over until done, about 30 seconds. Repeat with
the rest of the butter and the batter. Roll up with the ingredients below.
