Low Fat Crêpes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2/3 cup of nonfat milk

Cooking Instructions: Put flour and salt in a medium bowl and stir with a hand whisk. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add egg. Whisk egg and flour while pouring milk into bowl, stirring well to combine. The batter should be free of lumps. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat skillet on medium high. Add a 1/4 cup of batter to hot skillet and swirl around the pan to cover as much of the bottom of the skillet as possible. As the edges cook, use a spatula to lift the edges of the crêpe. After about 1 minute, flip the crêpe over and cook for a further 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and start over until the batter is done. This should yield about 6 crêpes, so probably serves 2 or 3. You can eat them like pancakes or fill with you favorite ingredients and roll them up.
