does any one have a good crepe recipe?

[Buffalo Bull]

Dessert crepes served with warm fruit filling are a family favorite.
For years I have experimented with recipes and have yet to find the ultimate crepe

While definitely not a necessity I use my crepe maker all the time. http://www.amazon.com/CucinaPro-1448-Griddle-Crepe-Maker/dp/B001EZCJL8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366124106&sr=8-1&keywords=crepe+maker


The crepe recipe I use:
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cold water
3 eggs
2 TBSP melted butter
salt

Whisk together and refrigerate at least half an hour. If I am making the batter for a dessert crepe I will throw in a little powdered sugar to the batter

4. A little powdered sugar...

That sounds like a nice touch.
The crepe maker is easier to work than a no stick frying pan...if i had a dime for every crepe i destroyed attempting to properly heat and maintain temperature on a pan. The best birthday gift i've gotten in many years.
Thanks i be sure to post results

I wind up feeding it to the dog.

7. I used to have that problem making crepes in pans. I almost never ruin one anymore with the

crepe maker and this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YC12G2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

8. looks interesting

But then again all those hours of attempting to perfect the technique would be wasted time.
Remember your first attempt?
For pan cakes too?

12. five thumbs up....

Dinner was well received, Italian meat loaf served on a bed of pasta with a tossed salad.

The crepes were filled with a warm cinnamon-apple filling. My son , the toughest critic that I have to please was, pleased. It makes to labor worth it when you know it has hit the spot.

Thank you

9. We use the one in The Joy Of Cooking . . . not sure which edition . . . . lates 70s/early 80s.

[Buffalo Bull]

10. The first recipe I had used was from joy of cooking...

It called for a touch of granulated sugar.
The Whollyheretic's recipe calls for a touch of powdered sugar. Thus tonight I will give this one a test.
Results will be posted in the morning
