Heat a few drops of oil in a 6" crêpe 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, crêpes 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 crêpes? Sliced apples: Sauté apples in butter until tender, with lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon. Try grating in some cheddar cheese. Top the crêpes with yogurt and toasted walnuts or almonds. Cheese-herb filling: Mix cheese and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each crêpe 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 sautéed vegetables: Sauté or steam the vegetables. Heat the crêpes 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 crêpes. Ratatouille: Ratatouille is good filling for dinner crêpes. Cool the ratatouille first, mix it with grated cheese, fill and heat the crêpes. Tips: * Make the pancakes and filling in advance, but assemble just before heating or serving. Otherwise they'll get soggy. , * Crêpes can be served hot, cold, or room-temperature. Recipe by Moosewood Cookbook MMMMM
