Ingredients

  • 500 g flour (4.5 cups)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
  • 12 ounces beer (1 can)
  • 500 ml milk (2 cups)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, mix flour/salt/baking powder - add oil, rum and eggs - mix very well until dough is nice and smooth.
  2. 2
    Add milk progressively and then beer.
  3. 3
    Let the mix stand for at least an hour before cooking.
  4. 4
    If mix is too thick, add some water until you reach desired consistency (should be quite liquid).
  5. 5
    Heat a non-stick or lightly greased skillet over medium heat.
  6. 6
    Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, quickly rotating and tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook the crepe until golden underneath, about 1 minute and then flip it over and cook for about another minute.
  7. 7
    Remove from pan, and repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the cooked crepes warm by covering with a towel.
  8. 8
    Fill the crepes with your favorite toppings and roll burrito style or folded over.
