Dash of cinnamon
3/4 - 1 cup water

1. Mix ingredients in bowl for crepes until thin consistency.
2. In a medium skillet on low heat, drizzle olive oil to lightly coat bottom of the pan.
3. Pour crepes (around 1/3 cup) in middle of skillet and spread to make a large, thin pancake with back of spoon (you need to do this quickly and your pan can not be hot, it needs to be on the low setting. You may also use this batter for pancakes).
4. Cook for 1-2 minutes until firm on edges, then flip and cook for 1 minute.
