Crepes/ Pancake

I didn't know, if I can really name this recipe as Pancake . Although I have adopted the main ingredients of the pancake, I have slightly modified the original recipe. Hope, you like it !!! I have also added the original french recipe below..so you have got 3-in-1 :-D

Ingredients:

• All Purpose flour - 1/2 cup (approx 150 gms)
• Egg- 1
• Sugar- 1/2 teaspoon
• Milk-1/2 glass
• Butter- 50 grams
• Oil
• Salt

Method:

• Beat the egg in a bowl for about 5-7 minutes.
• Add the all purpose flour, salt, sugar and mix it well.
• Add milk little by little and beat it until you get the right consistency without any clumps.
• (Optional: Add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture and keep it aside for 10 minutes)
  
• The consistency may be like that of a normal dosa or slightly thinner than that. It shouldn't be too thick or too thin.
• Heat a flat tava. Use medium heat.
• Slightly oil the tava and spread the batter as a circle, as you normally do it for dosa.
• When it is slightly brown(don't leave it for much time), turn it over and remove immediately after 3-5 seconds from the tava.
• Dont leave the dosa much time on the hot tava after turning it, as it loses its softness.
• Coat it with little butter and sprinkle some powder sugar or normal sugar and serve it hot.
• Other combinations are jam, vanilla sauce,cream, chocolate, joghurt, kurma, honey and cherry, honey and strawberry, etc.
