Since then, Tom has been serving builders and homeowners with his kitchen expertise.

1/2 Tsp Salt

Add in the following ingredients and mix together:

1 Cup Milk

1 Cup Flour

Next, add the following

Pour in a greased, flat skillet and cook until a tender brown. Or, if you have a crepe maker, simply dip the surface into the batter.
