• ½ level teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs

Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Beat eggs and add them to dry ingredients. Mix in the milk and 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil gradually to avoid lumps. Add cognac if desired. Strain batter through a fine sieve and let it stand for at least 2 hours before cooking the crêpes. Batter
