 NOTES : Batter can be used immediately.  However, an hour or two standing
 will produce slightly more tender crepes.  Or, refrigerate batter up to
 three days for use as needed.
 
 Measure flour and liquid carefully, since consistency of batter is
 important.  (It should be about the consistency of thick heavy cream.)
 Spoon flour into 1 cup measure and level off with straight edge of knife or
 spatula.
