Julia Child's Crêpes

Absolutely wonderful crêpes — you'll love them from the very first bite! Ever since I got my hands on a book of Julia Child's culinary wisdom, I've grown more and more interested in French cooking, and I made these crêpes from her recipe. They came out perfectly on the first try — no "first-pancake-always-flops" here! Since then I make them only this way, and I wanted to share the recipe with you. They turn out very thin, pliable, and of course delicious!
