 Basic Recipe for 8 Crepes:
 
 In small bowl combine flour, melted butter, whole egg,
 egg yolk and 1/4 cup milk. Beat with rotary beater until
 smooth. Beat in remaining milk until mixture is well blended.
 Refrigerate, covered at least 30 minutes. Slowly heat an
 8-inch skillet until a drop of water sizzles and rolls off.
 For each crepe, brush skillet lightly with butter. Pour in
 about 2 tablespoons batter, rotating pan quickly to spread
 batter completely over bottom. Cook until lightly browned;
 then turn and brown other side. Turn out on wire rack. Keep
 warm in 300 degrees oven. (Stack crepes with a piece of waxed paper
 between each 2 if not using for several hours.)
