Not quite as thin as true crepes, these light-as-a-feather pancakes are topped with preserves and a dusting of confectioners' sugar. They're elegant, so easy to make and say "Joyeux Noel" with delicious French flair!

Ingredients

2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, water and vanilla; cover and process until well blended. Combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture. Cover and process until smooth.
