Ingredients
    7/8 cup  flour
    1/4 cup  sugar
    1/8 teaspoon  salt
    3  eggs
    1 teaspoon  grated lemon rind, (or a little grated vanilla bean)
    2 tablespoons  cognac
    2 tablespoons  melted butter
    1 1/2 cups  milk

Preparation
For this basic cr?pe recipe, sift flour, sugar, and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix until no lumps remain (you may use an electric mixer at slow speed). Mix in lemon rind or vanilla, cognac, and melted butter. Slowly add milk and mix until batter is consistency of thin cream. Let it stand an hour or two before making cr?pes.

Heat a cr?pe pan (either 6-inch or 10-inch, according to desired size of cr?pes) and rub it with butter. (It should sizzle on touching pan) For each cr?pe, pour a little batter into the pan, tilting about to let it run, covering the bottom in a fairly thin layer. When lightly browned on the bottom, turn carefully with spatula. Pat turned cr?pe flat with fingers and brown other side. As each cr?pe is cooked, remove it to a hot platter and keep warm. Re-butter pan as needed.
