A crêpe is a type of very thin [[Pancake|pancake]], usually made from [[Wheat flour|wheat flour]]. The word is of [[French]] origin, deriving from the Latin crispa, meaning "curled." While crêpes originate from Brittany, a region in the north-west of [[France]], their consumption is widespread in France and they are considered a national dish. They are also popular in Belgium. Crêpes are served with a variety of fillings, from the most simple with only [[Sugar|sugar]] to flambéed crêpes Suzette or elaborate savoury fillings.

The quantities in this recipe are based on a classic [[Delia Smith]] crêpe recipe

{{RecipeIngredients
| 110g (4oz) [[Plain flour|plain flour]], sifted
| pinch of [[Salt|salt]]
| 2 [[free range eggs]]
| 200ml (7fl oz) [[Milk|milk]] mixed with 75ml (3fl oz) water
| 50g (2oz) [[Butter|butter]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Using a large mixing bowl, sift the [[Flour|flour]] through a [[Sieve|sieve]], holding it high above the bowl so it is properly aerated. Make a fist-sized 'hole' in the [[Flour|flour]] and break the [[Eggs|eggs]] into it.
| Using an electric whisk on a slow speed at first to mix the [[Eggs|eggs]] well to combine the [[Flour|flour]].
| Mix the [[Milk|milk]] and water together and add to the [[Flour|flour]] in small amounts whilst whisking.
| Keep whisking until all the [[Flour|flour]] and lumps are combined into the [[Batter|batter]].
| Melt all of the [[Butter|butter]] into a crepe pan or [[Frying pan|frying pan]] (about 18cm (7in)
| Take the pan off the heat.
| Remove 2 tablespoons of the [[Butter|butter]] and add this to the [[Crepe|crepe]] [[Batter|batter]] and whisk well until combined.
| Pour the remaining [[Oil|oil]] into a small bowl to use for greasing the pan for further crepes. Only a very small amount of [[Butter|butter]] is needed to lubricate the pan to prevent the crepes from sticking. They certainly should not be [[Fried|fried]] in butter!
| Put the pan back on the heat and heat until almost [[Smoking|smoking]].
| Add half a tablespoon of [[Batter|batter]] to the hot pan, rotating it to spread the batter evenly around the base of the pan. The crepes should ideally be thinner than a [[Pancake|pancake]].
| After 30 seconds, lift the edge of the [[Crepe|crepe]] to check that it's golden [[Brown|brown]] in places. Use a pan slice to flip the crepe and cook for 10 seconds on this side.
| Remove the crepes and keep them warm, separated by [[Greaseproof paper|greaseproof paper]] if they are not to be immediately consumed.
| [[Dip]] a piece of kitchen paper in the [[Butter|butter]] and carefully wipe it around the pan ready for the next [[Crepe|crepe]].
