You will need:
SOFTWARE:
1 cup milk
1 cup unbleached white flour (all-purpose or baking)
2 jumbo or XL eggs (or 3 large/medium)
2 tbs butter
2 tbs sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
About 2 cups fresh berries or other fruit for topping.
HARDWARE:
10-12" cast iron skillet or other oven-proof skillet (no plastic handles)
(a pie dish works, I am told, but I've never used anything but my trusty skillet)
Measuring Cup
Measuring Spoon
Whisk
FILLING:
You can use any fruit to fill. Traditionally it is berries, but this time I used a delicious organic papaya I picked up at the farmer's market and some leftover fresh pineapple I had in the fridge. You can also blend a couple tablespoons of honey with a few tablespoons of cream cheese and spread that on before sprinkling the berries on for a more crepe-ish experience.

Traditionally, these are eaten with fruit and powdered sugar, or with something savory like ham, bacon, sometimes sausage, etc. Almost always though, butter is added first.
To eat them, roll them up into a long tube (for a more cultural experience, try to avoid thinking of it as a burrito :). Then cut into bite sized pieces (i usually cut and eat one piece at a time, because otherwise pieces unroll and become a mess).
Enjoy!
