Basic Crêpes

Ingredients

• 1-1½ tbs butter
• 40 g C flour
• ½ C milk
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp sugar
• Pinch salt

Directions

1. Make Batter: Melt butter in a 7" nonstick pan over medium-high. While it melts, whisk flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Add egg and about half the milk; whisk until smooth. Add remaining milk and the melted butter. Batter should be very thin.
2. Cook Crêpes: Pour about ¼ C batter into one corner of the pan held at a 45° angle, quickly tilting to coat the surface evenly. Cook 1-1½ minutes on the first side, until edges look lacy. Flip and cook briefly on the second side.
3. Stack: Transfer cooked crêpes to a plate and stack.
4. Serve: Fill with apricot preserves and fold into quarters or roll. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
