Strawberry Crepes

  1. Sift flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix until no lumps remain (you may use an electric mixer at slow speed).
  3. Mix in lemon rind or vanilla, cognac, and melted butter.
  4. Slowly add milk and mix until batter is consistency of thin cream.
  5. Let it stand an hour or two before making crepes.
  6. Heat a crepe pan (either 6-inch or 10-inch, according to desired size of crepes) and rub it with butter.
  7. For each crepe, pour a little batter into the pan, tilting about to let it run over the bottom in a fairly thin layer.

  9. As each crepe is cooked, remove it to a hot platter and keep warm.
  10. Re-butter pan as needed.

  14. Melt currant jelly and pour over crepes.
  15. Add and ignite cognac.
