 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      c             All-purpose flour
    1/2  c             Water -- +2 tb
    1/2  c             Milk
  3      lg            Eggs
  2      tb            Unsalted butter -- melted,
                       - cooled, plus some for the pan
    1/2  ts            Salt

In a blender or food processor blend flour, 1/2 cup +2 tb water,
milk, eggs, butter, and salt for 5 seconds. Turn the motor off and
scrape sides down, with a rubber spatula. Transfer the batter into a
bowl and let it stand, covered, for 1 hour. The batter may be made up
to one day in advance.

Heat a 7 to 8" crepe or non-stick skillet over moderate heat until it
is hot but not smoking and remove from heat. Brush the pan as
necessary with butter. Stir the batter, half fill a 1/4 cup measure
with it, and pour the batter into the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan
quickly to cover the bottom with a thin layer of batter and return
any excess batter to the bowl. Return the pan to the heat, loosen the
edge of the crepe with a spatula, and cook the crepe until the under
side is browned lightly. Turn the crepe, brown the other side lightly
and transfer to a plate. Crepes can be made in advance, stacked,
wrapped in plastic and stored refrigerated for 3 days or frozen.

Yield: 20 crepes
