Crepes Chez Kowawa

recipe for "Crepes Chez Kowawa" (my dessert crepes recipe)

1.25 cup flour
1 egg
2.0 cup milk
1 oz melted butter
2 pinches salt

optional but recommended:
3 tblspoons sugar
2 splashes of coconut rum

Put dry ingredients in a large bowl, mix 'em up. Add the egg and butter, and with a wooden spoon incorporate all the flour. If you need to, add little splashes of the milk. Once flour is incorporated, with a whisk beat vigorously, adding slowly remainder of the milk, and the rum. Let the mixture sit for 1 hour in the fridge before preparing the crepes using a crepe pan. Can double the recipe if desired and save extra batter in fridge for 1-2 days. Beat well again prior to cooking.

Dr. Kowawa's Crepe Suzette recipe

Prepare crepe batter as per above. Will also need:

1 Orange
4 tablespoons sugar
2 oz butter
2 splashes of Cointreau

Zest Orange and press for juice. Simmer for 5 minutes with all the above ingredients. Done while preparing each of 4 crepes: place crepe in simmering mixture and fold it into 4. Repeat for all crepes as they come off the crepe pan. Once done may make a Flambee by pouring ~1 tblspoon lighted Cointreau on each crepe.
