- FOR CREPES: Put cool water, lowfat milk, egg, egg whites and salt into blender; add in flour, then oil. Blend at top speed, stopping to scrape flour from the sides.
- Cover and chill 2 hrs. (This is an important step; it allows the flour particles to expand in the liquid and ensures a tender, thin crepe. The batter should have a very light, creamy texture - just thick sufficient to coat a wooden spoon.)
- For each crepe, heat a 6-inch nonstick frying pan over moderately high heat. When warm, pour a scant 1/4 c. of the batter into the skillet; immediately rotate pan till batter covers bottom. Cook till light brown; turn and brown the other side. Slide onto a hot plate and proceed in the same manner with the rest of the batter.
- Put waxed paper between the crepes as you stack them. Keep crepes covered to prevent them from drying out. They are now ready to be filled.
- Makes 20 - 6 inch crepes. 1 crepe = 1 servng.
