Crepes are popular all over and Paris and now even all over Israel. Although most people think of them as dessert, they are delicious savory too. They can actually be used with any kind of filling you can think of, but first you must master the basic crepe.
Folding Technique: Spread filling all over the crepe. Add any additions to the center. Fold the right and left side toward the middle, overlapping slightly. Start rolling away from yourself until you have a roll.

crepes and blintz are not the same ,just sayin.
This batter was more like the consistency of pancake batter. It was necessary to add more milk and then it was okay.
I always replace part of the milk with club soda. Makes for very light crepes.
