This recipe is a ratio, so we expect you to have a scale for this one.  It's a bit different, but we promise it's worth the brain power!  For our choice crepe variant, see Crepes Suzette below the main crepe recipe.

===Ingredients===
==Start with 1 egg per person: Other ingredients by weight==
  *1 part Egg
  *1 part Milk
  *½ part Flour
  *1 TBS butter per egg

==Example for 3 people==
  * 3 eggs for 150g
  * 150g of milk
  * 75g of flour
  * 3 TBS butter

===Method===
{{ :recipes:crepes_detail_1.gif?direct|}}
  -Melt butter, and set aside to cool
  -Whisk milk and eggs together until smooth
  -Whisk milk and egg mixture into flour until smooth, but for no more than 1 minute
  -Add butter to mixture
  -Set batter aside for a minimum of 15 minutes, up to a full day; we shoot for 30 minutes
  -Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until evenly heated (don't worry about overheating your nonstick pan at this temp, it will be fine)
  -Brush a very small amount of butter into the pan just to get it primed for the first crepe
  -Pour ~1/3 cup of batter into your pan, and tilt pan to evenly distribute batter in a thin layer
  -After ~30 seconds, flip and cook on other side for ~10 seconds until both sides are barely starting to brown
  -Remove from pan and set aside on plate while finishing your batch; Because the thermal mass of the crepes are so low, we strongly suggest preheating the plate you will be stacking them on
    -If filling, stack flat on plate
    -If covering in sauce, fold into quarters and stack

==== Crepes Suzette ====
This is our go to variant of this dish.  It consists of covering your folded crepes in a sweet citrus sauce.


===Ingredients===
Per serving
  * 1 TBS butter
  * ¼ Cup Orange Juice; the more pulp the better
  * 1 small Orange in 1cm pieces
  * 2 TBS sugar

===Method===
  - Combine ingredients in small sauce pan
  - Simmer over medium heat until sauce is thickened and fruit is breaking down
  - Serve generously over crepes
