Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

--------------------------------CREPE BATTER--------------------------------
2 Eggs Salt (to taste)
1/2 c Milk Pepper, white (to taste)
1/2 c Water, or more 2 tb Butter, clarified **
1 c Flour, all purpose, sifted Oil, Olive

-------------------------------FRITTER BATTER-------------------------------
1/4 c Flour, all purpose 1 Egg
2 tb Cornstarch 1/4 c Water or more
1 ts Baking powder 1/2 ts Oil, vegetable
1/2 ts Salt

For Crepes:
===========

Combine the eggs, milk and a 1/2 cup of water together.
Gradually add 1 cup of flour, whisking it in until smooth.

Whisk in the salt and pepper and Clarified butter. Thin with
water, if necessary, to the consistency of whipping cream. Cover
and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

If the crepe batter has thickened in the refrigerator, thin it
with water to the consistency of whipping cream. Brush a 7-inch
skillet (preferably non stick) with a thin film of olive oil. Place
the skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add about 3
tablespoons of crepe batter and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until
the crepe is lightly golden, about 1 minute; then turn it over and
cook the second side for 30 seconds. Continue with remaining
batter, stacking crepes between waxed paper.

For Fritter Batter:
===================

Sift 1/4 cup of flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt into
a mixing bowl. In a second bowl, combine an egg, 1/4 cup of water
and vegetable oil and mix. Gradually stir the liquid mixture into
the flour and mix just until smooth. DO NOT OVER MIX. Refrigerate,
covered.
