In a mixing bowl, combine flour, egg, and milk. Heat a large skillet or crepe pan over a medium-high heat. Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, lift the pan and turn it by rotating your wrist, spreading a PAPER THIN amount in the pan. Flip the crepe when it starts to bubble. When it is finished cooking, remove it and repeat this process with the remaining batter.

Sift together flour, sugar and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk together with an electric mixer. Beat in flour mixture until smooth; stir in melted butter. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Have your ingredients at room temperature before starting. Mix together the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a blender combine eggs, milk, 2 Tablespoon melted butter and flour mixture. Blend until smooth scraping the side of the blender a few times. Pour into that bowl you used for the flour and set aside. Leave the mixture to rest for 30 minutes before cooking. Heat your pan to Medium High. Add oil and wipe it off with paper towel; set it on a plate and use this to wipe your pan after making each crepes. Pour some batter into the hot pan and tilt the pan so that the batter spreads out evenly. Cook for a minute tilting the pan in all directions to cover bottom of pan. I used 3 Tablespoons of batter for my 9 inches pan. This works well with a 1/4 measuring cup. When the edges start to curl, use a spatula to flip crêpes and cook another minutes. Slide crepe on a rack; cool. Stack on a plate separating them with a piece of wax paper. You can refrigerate them for 3 days before serving. (Can be frozen at this stage, wrapped tightly for up to 3 months).

Place water, milk, flour, eggs and salt into blender (in that order makes it easier to scrape the unmixed flour off the sides) and blend at lowest setting. After 30 seconds pour in melted butter and continue to blend at lowest setting for two minutes (make sure to stop the blender after about 15 seconds and scrape any unmixed flour off the sides). Warm a non-stick crepe pan (8" or 10" pans are the best size) over medium heat. Starting with the crepe pan already tilted, pour in 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of batter (depending on pan size) and quickly tilt the pan spreading the batter to the edges (this should make for a nice thin crepe). Once the edges start to curl up slightly, inspect the under-side to see if it’s a light golden-brown. This step is up to you, but some people like to flip the crepe for about 10-15 seconds just to give it a more “finished off” look. Fill with fruit or Nutella or cinnamon-sugar, or my favorite, ham & Gruyère (don’t forget to add pepper!).

Time 1h40m Yield Makes 8 to 10 crepes (4 servings) Number Of Ingredients 18 Steps:
For the crepes batter: Stir the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Combine the milk, water, eggs and butter in a blender, blend until smooth. Add the flour mixture. Blend just until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender carafe. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, if time allows. For the filling: Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and swirl in the butter until melted. Add the mushrooms, ham and thyme and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cream and Dijon mustard and simmer over medium-high heat to thicken, about 1 minute. Heat a nonstick crepe pan or large nonstick saute pan over a medium flame. Spray with the cooking spray. Ladle about 2 ounces of the crepe batter into the center of the pan and swirl. When the center begins to set, flip with a spatula and continue cooking until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining crepe batter (it will make 8 to 10 crepes). Fill the center of 8 crepes with the mushroom-and-ham mixture and top each with a small amount of the shredded Gruyere. Fold the crepes into triangles and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining shredded Gruyere and bake at 400 degrees F until the cheese melts, 10 minutes. Finish with the fresh parsley.
