Dessert Crepes

Dessert Crepes
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups cake flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon dark rum or vanilla extract


In a large mixing bowl whisk the sugar, cake flour, and salt. Add the eggs and whisk well. Whisk in the oil and the milk. the mixture should form a thick paste. Pour in the remaining milk a little at a time while mixing and then add the rum (or vanilla).
Heat the crepe pan over medium-high heat for about a minute. Cover the surface of the pan with clarified butter until it gets sizzling hot.
Ladle some batter onto the middle of the 8-inch pan and immediately start swirling the pan to distribute the batter over the surface. Pour the batter so that it's very thin on the pan.
Cook the crepe for about 30 to 60 seconds (heat may vary) or until it's brown around the edge and dry in the center. Using a thin spatula flip the crepe quickly and cook for about 15 seconds. Using the spatula, remove the crepe to a warm plate. Sprinkle the crepe with sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Will make 20+/- crepes depending on the size and thickness of the crepe / batter.
