Quick Mixing Crepe Batter Recipe from Julia Child (using Wondra)

By using Wondra, this batter only needs to rest for 20 minuts or so after mixing - this allows crepes to be made sooner after mixing than when using a traditional batter (which requires hours of resting before use).

3 large eggs
2/3 C milk
2/3 C water (plus a little additional if needed to thin batter later)
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp oil (peanut or grapeseed - high smoke point preferred, or may substitute part melted butter)
1 C Wondra instant mixing flour
A little oil to prepare pan

Beat eggs lightly in a medium (4 C capacity) bowl, then add the milk, water, and oil.  Stir in the Wondra flour, whisking it in until smooth.  Let batter rest before use for 20 - 30 mins, or longer in the refrigerator.  If batter has become a little too thick, thin with a little more water, adding a few drops at a time until reaching the desired batter thickness for the crepes of your choice.
