Crepes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 1 tablespoon sugar Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Whisk the eggs in a medium mixing bowl until blended.
- Pour in the milk, water, and club soda and stir together until blended.
- Add the sugar, lemon zest, and salt and blend well.
- Gradually sift the flour into the liquids, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- The batter will have the consistency of melted ice cream.
- Heat about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in an 8-inch crepe pan over medium-high heat, swirl the pan to coat it evenly with the oil, then pour off the excess.
- Holding the pan at a 45-degree angle, pour 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, allowing it to run down from the highest point.
- The secret to making thin, even crepes is to flex your wrist, distributing the batter over the entire bottom of the pan as quickly as possible before the batter has a chance to set.
- Return the pan to the heat, reduce the heat to moderate, and cook until the underside of the crepe is lacy and lightly browned, 30 to 40 seconds.
- Flip it over carefully with a spatula and cook the second side until it is lightly browned in spots, about 1 minute.
- Slide the crepe from the pan onto a large plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-oiling the pan only as necessary and stacking the finished crepes one atop another.
- Crepes can be prepared up to a day in advance, covered tightly with plastic wrap, and stored in the refrigerator until needed.
