    Title: Crepes
    Categories: French, Pancakes
    Yield: 6 Crepes

    MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
    1 c Flour
    1 c Milk
    1 Egg
    1 tb Oil
    1/4 ts Salt

    MMMMM----------------------APPLE VARIATION---------------------------
    Apples; sliced
    Butter
    Lemon juice
    Honey
    Cinnamon
    Cheddar cheese; grated;
    -(optional)
    Yogurt
    Toasted walnuts or almonds

    MMMMM-------------------CHEESE-HERB VARIATION------------------------
    1 1/2 c Cottage or ricotta cheese
    1 Scallion; minced
    1 ds Basil
    Fresh parsley; chopped
    Salt and pepper
    Butter
    Sour cream or spinach-yogurt
    -sauce
    Tomato slices; for garnish

    MMMMM----------------VEGETABLES VARIATION OPTIONS---------------------
    Spinach and mushrooms;
    -sauteed in butter
    Broccoli or asparagus spears
    Whole green beans

    Beat batter ingredients in blender until smooth.

    Heat a few drops of oil in a 6" crepe or omelette pan. When pan is
    hot, pour in enough batter to coat bottom of pan and slightly (1/8")
    up the sides. Pour excess batter off (back into the batter
    container.) When pancake appears to solidify (this should be over
    moderate heat) life the edges gently and flip it over with a small
    spatula. Turn out onto clean, dry towel or wooden surface.

    You may want to double or triple this recipe, as some batter may be
    lost to early mistakes. Also, crepes are very light and delightful,
    and depending on what you fill them with, a person could consume
    quite a few.

    What to put in your crepes?

    Sliced apples:

    Saute apples in butter until tender, with lemon juice, honey, and
    cinnamon. Try grating in some cheddar cheese. Top the crepes with
    yogurt and toasted walnuts or almonds.

    Cheese-herb filling:

    Mix cheese and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each crepe
    with 3-4 tb filling. Grill lightly in butter. Serve topped with sour
    cream or spinach-yogurt sauce. Garnish with tomato slices.

    Fresh steamed or sauteed vegetables:

    Saute or steam the vegetables. Heat the crepes gently on a buttered
    tray. Serve topped with one of many sauce recipes. (Experiment on
    yourself.)

    White rabbit salad:

    The White Rabbit Salad recipe makes a great filling for brunch
    crepes.

    Ratatouille:

    Ratatouille is good filling for dinner crepes. Cool the ratatouille
    first, mix it with grated cheese, fill and heat the crepes.

    Tips:

    * Make the pancakes and filling in advance, but assemble just before
    heating or serving. Otherwise they'll get soggy.
    * Crepes can be served hot, cold, or room-temperature.

    Never rush to cook your first crepe. Make sure the pan is nice and hot.
    We use lemon juice and sugar for a nice sweet and sour, I enjoy putting
    Nutella on mine (chocolate hazelnut spread) or maybe strawberry jam.
    You can also use them to make cheese blintzes with sour cream and
    ricotta cheese.

    Nice! I figure the cook gets to eat the first crepe. I like them with
    sour cream and homemade fig jam. Or with minimal amounts of butter and
    honey.
