Ingredients

Additional Ingredients
2/3cupjam
1tbspicing sugar
Instructions
In a medium sized bowl beat eggs.
Beat in milk and oil.
Add in flour and salt.
Mix well to break up any lumps.
Pour mixture through fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining lumps. This is only necessary if pouring batter through the nozzle of a pastry bag or squeeze bottle. If you're just making regular crepes, those little lumps aren't an issue.
Pour batter into squeeze bottle.
Heat a lightly greased skillet to medium heat.
Remove skillet from heat while you are pouring or squeezing your heart shaped, lacy and solid designs onto the skillet.
Return skillet to heat and brown both sides. Watch carefully!
Have two oven proof plates ready, one to hold the lacy hearts and one to hold the solid hearts. Keep warm in a 200°F oven.
Repeat this process with entire batter, greasing pan as needed and ensuring you have half lacy hearts and half solid hearts.
Assemble your crepes by spreading a layer of jam on the solid hearts and topping with the lacy hearts.
Sprinkle with a dusting of icing sugar.

Notes
Control the flow of the batter out of the squeeze bottle by holding your finger over the tip. I found it easiest to draw a heart shape first and then add the decorative touches. Yield 16 individual crepes or 8 jam filled double layered crepes
