1 cup flour
1 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt
oil, for pan

  • For each shell/crepe, brush a six inch teflon coated fry pan with oil or butter.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the batter in the bottom of pan, tilting back and forth so it spreads evenly.

  • Slide off pan and onto plate to cool slightly.
  • Repeat until all of the batter is used.
  • Place 2 TBS of your cheese filling into the center of the crepe/shell, bringing sides over so they overlap to hold filling inches.
