Basic Crêpe Batter for Dessert or Savory Crêpes ~ Blender Method
INGREDIENTS:
3 large eggs
1-1/3 cups whole milk
3/4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
PREPARATION:
1. Combine the eggs, milk, flour and salt in the blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute.
2. If the batter is lumpy, strain it through a sieve. Cover and allow to rest at room temperature for at least one hour.
At this point, it can also be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 dayBring it to room temperature before continuing with recipe.
3. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Skim the foam off the rest of the butter.
4. Heat an 8" crêpe pan or skillet over med-high heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan; if they sizzle, the pan is ready to use. Brush with a little of the melted butter.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measure, fill it with batter and pour it into the skillet. Immediately pick up the pan and tilt and swirl it so that the batter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Pour any excess batter back into the bowl.
6. Loosen the edges of the crêpe with a metal spatula. You can use a spatula to turn the crêpe, but I usually turn it with my fingers. Using both hands, I pick up the loosened edges with my thumb and index finger and quickly flip it over.
7. Cook on the other side until lightly golden (usually less than a minute) and slide it out onto a plate. Cover with waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve:
These crêpes may be filled with either sweet fillings, such as jam and sprinkled with a little sugar. They may also be filled with savory fillings, like ham and cheese or chicken and spinach in a cream sauce. A favorite sweet filling in France is Nutella. In Brittany, they make them with buckwheat flour and fill them with seafood. In Alsace, they flavor the batter with herbes and use leftover meat for fillings. Use your imagination and a few of your favorite ingredients to develop your own favorites.

I surely have countless crepe favorites, along with: a million. chicken and asparagas: with a cheese sauce, sparkling asparagas, and roasted chicken. 2. Smoked ham, mushroom, and carmelized onions with fontina. 3. Apple sundae crepes crammed with warm cinnamon apples and crowned with ice cream 4. Breakfast crepes: sparkling strawberries or blackberries with vanilla yogurt, honey and whipped creme.
