Dutch Pancakes

Call them what you want, crepes, German or English, at our house they are Dutch pancakes.  That is what my Grandpa and Grandma Mines called them  With a name like Mines you would think they would call them German pancakes.  (Especially since I don't have Dutch ancestry)  When I would stay at my grandparents for a few days, Grandpa would always make Dutch pancakes for breakfast. Served with syrup, powdered sugar or jam and rolled up they make a yummy breakfast.  My favorite!

Dutch Pancakes

1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup water - plus maybe a tablespoon or two more
Butter

Heat up a skillet/fry pan on medium.  Mix the egg, flour and water until a fairly thin consistency. Melt about a teaspoon of butter and pour in a pool of pancake batter, roll the pan around until it fills the pan and let cook for a few minutes.  Flip it over and let it cook for a minute more.  Serve.  One egg makes 2 - 3 pancakes.
