Simple crepe batter.

"I divided the recipe and did half savory and half sweet. The savory I filled with mushrooms and asparagus sauteed in garlic and butter and topped with a mornay sauce. The sweet I used for Strawberry Cream Cheese Dessert Crepes with Chocolate Sauce (see link).

3/4 cupmilk
1/2 cupwater
1 cupflour
3 tablespoonsmelted butter
Butter; for coating the pan

Crepes Preparation

In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.

Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.

*Savory Variation Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the egg mixture.

*Sweet Variation Add 21/2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur to the egg mixture.

I tried this for my family this morning, and they turned out amazing! I did not put the batter into the blender, but rather whisked it for about five minutes. Will definitely make them again!
