1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
3. Whisk until the eggs and flour are thoroughly mixed. Slowly add half of the milk, whisking constantly and gradually drawing in the flour to make a smooth batter.
4. Stir in half of the melted butter and half of the remaining milk. Allow to stand for 2 hours.
5. Just before cooking, stir and check the consistency of the batter. It should be like thin cream. If necessary, add more milk to achieve the right consistency. Use the remaining butter to coat the pan.
6. Heat an 8" crêpe pan or skillet over med-high heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan if they sizzle, the pan is ready to use. Brush with a little of the melted butter.
7. Using a 1/4 cup measure, fill it with batter and pour it into the skillet. Immediately pick up the pan and tilt and swirl it so that the batter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Pour any excess batter back
into the bowl.
8. Loosen the edges of the crêpe with a metal spatula. You can use a spatula to turn the crêpe, but I usually, turn it with my fingers. Using both hands, pick up the loosened edges with my thumb and index
finger and quickly flip it over.
9. Cook on the other side until lightly brown (usually less than a minute) and slide it out onto a plate. Cover with waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining batter.
