- Step 1
Place the flour in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk in a third of a cup of the milk and the egg whites, beating until smooth. Add the remainder of the milk, water, sugar, rum and four teaspoons of the oil and whisk until well blended.
- Step 2
Heat a small (about six inches in diameter) nonstick skillet and add the remaining quarter teaspoon of oil to the pan (see note) to coat it. When the oil is hot, place one tablespoon of the batter in the skillet and quickly tilt and shake the pan to cover the bottom of the pan with the batter. The faster you spread the batter, the thinner your crepe will be. Allow the crepe to cook between 35 and 45 seconds, until browned on the bottom, then turn it over and cook on the other side for an additional 30 seconds. Continue with the remaining batter.
Tip
- The pan needs to be oiled only once, at the beginning.

I don't think JP makes crepes this way anymore. The recipe I have from JP is (different yield): 1/3 cup flour, 1 whole egg, 1/2 cup milk, dash salt, tsp sugar. Melt 1 TBSP butter in the skillet, then pour into the batter once it's been whisked together. That's it. I make this very frequently. It's great, and I love the simplicity.

great w ATK gluten free flour mix which was surprising, I think the egg whites really helps hold it all together it had a really nice tooth.

I use about a 1/3 wholemeal flour sometimes. it gives them a bit more body and a different texture.

I didn’t have Rum but used a tablespoon of Cointreau and it was lovely.. but also used less sugar than the recipe calls for. I imagine it isn’t essential..
Colin
Is the rum essential or can it be left out?
