    2 cups all purpose flour
    2 eggs
    2 3/4 cups water
    Beat eggs with water and gradually add the flour to make a smooth thin batter. Oil a 7-inch skillet with a small amount of oil. Heat pan and then add a small amount of batter (a very thin layer;as for crepes). Leave it only long enough to set. Remove from pan and continue to make the next doily. Makes about 25.
