1 1/2 cups cold water
Pinch of salt
1 egg
4 leeks
1 Shallot
Butter
Optional: white wine
1/2 cup cream
Salt and Pepper
4 ounces of goat cheese, more to top

Mix flour and salt then add a little water at a time, stirring constantly. Add the egg and mix until smooth. Cover the bowl and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes then check the consistency. Coat a warm frying pan with butter. Using a ladle pour batter into the frying pan and turn it and shake so the batter covers the surface. Halfway through cooking turnover.

Clean leeks thoroughly. Chop leeks and shallot. Saute the shallot then add the leeks and cook until very soft. At this point you can add some white wine. When reduced add cream and let cook for a few minutes. Season to taste.
Add leek mixture to the crepes and roll up. Top each crepe with a slice of goat cheese.
