CREPES

1 cup flour 
1 cup milk  
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter 
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract, optional 

beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer 
use a 12" skillet and place over medium heat for 3 minutes.  use a basting brush to butter the bottom of the pan before making each crepe
pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter in the center of the pan and then lift the pan and gently swirl it around allowing the batter to thin out and spread out a bit. 
cook for 30 to 40 seconds on each side and remove to a plate to make the next one. 
I stack the crepes one on top of the other on a single plate and do not have an issue carefully pulling them apart when it's time to assemble. 

I purchased this crepe maker (affiliate link) and it's been fun to use!  It made 10 crepes with this recipe.  Dip hot plate into batter and let sit for 3 seconds.  Pull out and flip over and allow time to sit on hot plate for 30 seconds.
