Step 1 -  Place the flour and salt in a bowl. In In a jug whisk the eggs and milk together. Then gradually add them to the bowl of flour whisking to avoid lumps. It will be a very runny mix-pour this into a jug to make it easier.

Step 2 - Heat a frypan on medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Hold the pan in one hand and the jug in another and add the batter all the time tilting the pan so that it runs to the edges-the batter is very liquid so it will do it. Cook for a minute or two until the bottom is cooked and gently flip over and cook the other side. Repeat and place on plate.

Other times you might get half a spider's web!

Step 3 - You can serve these in a stack with Jack Skellington on top. But to make these a surprise treat I alternated faces and did different designs between each crepe in the stack so that everyone gets a different design. Sometimes they got no design though in which case they could dip it in "blood clots" i.e. strawberry jam.


Did you make this?
