Basic crêpes

1/3 cup flour
Dash of salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp butter (melted)

Place egg, milk, and butter in blender; add flour and salt.

Blend ingredients for about 1 minute or until ingredients are combined.
Refrigerate batter 1 hour before using. (Flour particles will expand in the liquid. This insures tender crêpes.) Batter may thicken as it stands. Beat in a few tsp of water into batter if it is too heavy.

Prepare crêpes: Melt butter in fry pan. Spread very thin file of batter. Cook quickly on both sides until done. Remove from pan.

Note: finished crêpes should be thin!
