Not sure where the original version came from but this includes my tweaks over the years. The results are a lovely crepe than can used for entreés or desserts without having to worry about fat and calories. Bon appettit! For those following Weight Watchers, it's 2 points per serving.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift all dry ingredients together and make a well in the center.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites; add the remaining liquid ingredients.
  • Pour the beaten liquids into the flour mixture.

  • Refrigerate batter for 30 minutes.
  • Wipe a hot 6 inch non-stick pan lightly with oil.

  • Note the two sides will look quite different.
