Steps:
- 1. Whisk flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Place eggs, milk, water and melted butter in blender. Add all of the flour mixture into eggs a little at a time while blender is running to avoid or remove any lumps.
- 2. Strain batter into a large glass measuring cup.
- 3. Cover and refrigerate batter at least 1 hour to let bubbles dissipate. FOR CREPES: Have the following items available at stove-top -- crepe batter, melted butter, pastry brush, cooling rack, 7 or 8 inch diameter crepe pan, and 1/3 cup measuring cup. Heat crepe pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Brush with some melted butter. Whisk batter, then pour a scant 1/3 cup of batter into pan. Swirl batter around by tilting pan to fully coat bottom. Cook until golden brown on bottom, about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip crepe over with large flat spatula or your hands and cook second side until browned in spots, about 45 seconds. Transfer crepe to rack to cool. Brush skillet with butter (each time) and repeat process with remaining batter. (Make sure to gently stir batter every few crepes.) Once crepe has cooled, place it on a sheet of wax or parchment paper. Pile crepes on top of each other with wax/parchment paper between each. Place stack of crepes in plastic bag and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use. (If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before filling.)
- 4. Suggested fillings: Any fruit pie filling, jelly or jam, peanut butter and sprinkle powdered sugar over top.
FRENCH-STYLE PANCAKES/ CREPES WITH VARIATIONS
Delicious, light as a feather French-style pancakes/crepes! For variation, try adding vanilla, rose water, orange blossom water, finely grated lemon, orange or mandarin rind, sliced bananas, blueberries or any type of liqueur (Anisette or Brandy is particularly French and tasty) to the batter. Fill with my recipe #480674 then roll them up crepe style. Awesome! Or, make the pancakes small and top each pancake with a heaped teaspoon of creme fraiche and a teaspoon of rose petal jam: romantic and lovely! At the table, pass around quartered lemons, powdered sugar, warmed maple syrup or my homemade lavender honey (see recipe #383209), and whipped cream accompanied with bowls of fresh berries and edible fresh flowers such as rose petals or lavender flowers. And, pancakes/ crepes are wonderful drizzled with flavored syrups (especially orange blossom or rose water syrup) with a little lemon juice added. I hope you enjoy! Recipe adapted from "Modern French Classics" by Camille Le Foll.

Steps:
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, vigorously beat the egg yolk with the cream, melted butter and milk. Add cream mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to obtain a smooth batter. Add any optional ingredients (see variations above) at this stage, whisking to combine.
- Let stand for 1 hour at room temperature. (Meanwhile, let egg whites come to room temperature).
- Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks and gently fold into the batter.
- Heat frying pan or griddle to medium heat. Add butter or shortening (I use Crisco butter flavor shortening) to coat well.
- Spoon equal amounts of batter onto griddle and cook until bubbles come to surface and edges look almost done.
- Flip and cook for a few seconds more, until golden.
- SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with softened butter and warmed maple syrup, flavored syrup infusions, lavender honey, lemon wedges, fresh berries, and/or a dusting of powdered sugar. Or (my favorite!), fill pancakes with a mixture of 1 3/4 cups finely chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons rose water, then roll up crepe style--delicious! Or, make pancakes small and top each with a dollop of creme fraiche and a teaspoonful of rose petal jam.
- Garnish with rose petals, orange blossoms, or fresh lavender flowers.
- TIPS:Make sure the frying pan is well greased when making pancakes. Wipe around the pan with a small wad of paper towel soaked in fat (I use butter flavored Crisco) between making each pancake.

Steps:
- Weigh the flour in a large jug or bowl. Crack in the eggs, add half the milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk to a smooth, thick batter. Add the remaining milk and whisk again. Set aside for at least 30 mins.
- Heat a large non-stick crêpe pan or frying pan. Add a drizzle of oil, then wipe out the excess with kitchen paper. When the pan is hot, add enough batter to just cover the surface, swirling it and pouring any excess back into the bowl. The pancake should be as thin as possible. When the edges are peeling away from the sides of the pan, shake it to see if the pancake easily releases and is browning on the underside. If not, cook a little longer. Flip and cook the other side for a minute or two. Serve, or keep warm in a low oven.
