Combine the eggs, milk and a 1/2 cup of water together.

Whisk in the salt and pepper and Clarified butter. Thin with
water, if necessary, to the consistency of whipping cream. Cover
and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

If the crepe batter has thickened in the refrigerator, thin it
with water to the consistency of whipping cream. Brush a 7-inch
skillet (preferably non stick) with a thin film of olive oil. Place
the skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add about 3
tablespoons of crepe batter and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until
the crepe is lightly golden, about 1 minute; then turn it over and
cook the second side for 30 seconds. Continue with remaining
batter, stacking crepes between waxed paper.
