  Making crepes can be easy if you already have a batch of baking mix
  in the pantry. Flipping and filling takes some practice, but you'll
  get it down. Make sure your pan is hot enough to bounce a drop of
  water, and has no rough spots.

  Crepes can be filled with various meat stuffing's for a quick
  brunch or dinner, or they are great with fruit for dessert. You can
  make a batch of them and freeze them with wax paper or plastic wrap
  between each one.
  
  Quick Crepes:

  Combine ingredients and beat until smooth in a blender, food
  processor, or shaker container. Mixture will be thin.
  
  To Use:

  For each crepe, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into a hot, greased
  pan. Turn pan until batter covers the bottom and cook over medium
  heat until golden brown. Loosen edge with a spatula, turn over and
  cook the other side until golden brown.

  To Reheat Frozen Crepes:

  Either thaw, still wrapped, at room temperature for 1 hour before
  warming in an oven set at 350 F, or unwrap and place in a microwave
  on medium for 1 or 2 minutes.
  
  Ideas:

  For dinner or brunch crepes, try filling with a spoonful of finely
  ground tuna, chicken, or turkey salad and top with white sauce.

  For dessert, fill with spiced apples, sweetened cherries, or
  berries; top with sweetened whipped cream and dust with cinnamon.
  
  Blintzes:
  
  Mix batter and cook, as for crepes. Fill the crepe while still warm
  with sweetened cream cheese, top with sour cream, and dust with
  more sugar.
  
  Yield: 12 Crepes
