Step 1
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites; set the whites aside. Place the flour in a bowl, make a well in the center, and add the egg yolks, beer, oil, salt, and 2 tablespoons of cognac in that order. Stir with a spatula to form a fairly thick batter, adding a little water if needed. Cover with a cloth and let rest for 2 hours.
