Julie's Dessert Crepes

This recipe is from Julie Attal, my French roommate during 2002. In other words, these are real French crepes. I'm giving both the French and my attempt at converting to English measurements. Bon appétit!

For making good crepes, you need:

Ingredients (English)
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
5 - 6 eggs
4 teaspoons of vegetable oil
a little bit of rum
milk

Ingredients (French)
500 g flour
100 g sugar
5/6 eggs
4 spoon of oil (not olive oil, because the taste is too strong)
a little bit of rhum
milk

Directions:

1. First you put flour and sugar together.

2. Then you add your eggs and you mix them gently with the flour. (for the moment, it's not very liquid, but it will be with the milk later)

3. Then you add the oil spoons, and you mix again. You can add the rum if you want (it's better, trust me!)

4. Then you add the milk progressively, you mix again, until it's liquid (but not too much) and without little pieces in it.

5. Wait 15 minutes, and then you can cook delicious crepes!

6. Put some oil in the pan, and then I think the boys know how to make them! [Ed. pour about a 1/4 cup of batter into the frying pan, and swish around so it covers the bottom and a bit of the sides to the desired thickness. When lightly browned on bottom, flip and do other side. If you stack them when they're hot, they may stick a bit.]

7. You can eat them with sugar, lemon and sugar, chocolate, apple sauce and cinnamon, ice scream, nutella (the best!), etc...
