Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a blender. If making dinner crepe, add salt. If making dessert crepes, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon sugar. Add flavorings if desired. Cover and blend until smooth.

Heat a very lightly greased 6" or 8" skillet with flared sides over medium high heat. Remove from heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the center of the skillet. Lift and tilt the skillet to spread batter. Return to heat. Cook about 1 minute or until light brown. Turn with a spatula and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Invert over paper towel; remove crepe.

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet occasionally and stirring batter if needed.

Make filling (see below). Plan on 3 or 4 tablespoons of filling per crepe.

Heat filling before filling crepe. Top with sauce. Serve immediately. If necessary, warm crepe in microwave oven on high for 3 to 5 minutes.

To store crepes: stack the finished crepes between layers of waxed paper.

Wrap stack well in plastic wrap an seal in an airtight plastic container or resealable bag. Crepes will keep for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator, or up to a month in the freezer. To reheat, remove from freezer and thaw at room temperature. May be reheated individually in a skillet or several at a time in the microwave. Set microwave oven on high power and cook for 30 to 60 seconds. Turn crepes and cook for another 30 seconds or until heated through.
