Stir in well. Slowly add milk, 1/4 cup at a time. When well mixed, add melted butter. Allow batter to sit at room temperature 2 hours if possible. If it sits overnight, refrigerate it and add a bit more milk to thin the batter. The next day allow to sit at room temperature for an hour before using. To cook, preheat a 10" skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tb butter and swirl it around in the pan. Add a bit less than 1/4 cup of batter to pan, then quickly swirl pan around so that batter covers the bottom of pan thinly. If too much batter is poured in, try to pour excess batter back into larger bowl. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly golden in color, then flip crepe over with a spatula, cook 1 minute more, and remove from heat. Add a bit more butter to pan and repeat process until all batter is used up. Stack cooked crepes on top of one another and allow to cool. BE sure to use a small amount of batter or crepes will be too thick. Filling: Heat the oil in a 10" skillet and saute onions, garlic, eggplant, thyme, and basil over medium heat until tender and browned. Don't overcook. Dice the tomatoes and combine with the sliced water chestnuts in a medium-sized bowl. Add sauteed vegetables, salt, and pepper. Stir. Preheat oven to 375 F. Lay out crepes and put 1/2 cup vegetable mixture in a line down the center of each crepe. Then peel and slice avocados, squeeze lemon over them, and spread 4 to 6 avocado slices over the vegetables on each crepe. Add 1/4 cup cheese per crepe. Roll up the crepes and place seam side down in a shallow oiled baking pan. Bake 10 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top. Recipe by Horn of the Moon Cookbook by Ginny Callan MMMMM
