125g plain flour

Pinch salt

Blend the ingredients together and leave for 5 minutes.

Heat a non stick pan or crepe pan until hot and rub with a little oil. Hold the pan at a 45 degree angle away from yourself and pour the mixture into the pan, swirling as you go so as to coat the pan with a thin layer of the mixture.

Cook for 30 seconds then flip with a palette knife or flip in the air!

Place the crepe on a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture, placing parchment paper between each crepe - you should have 8.
