    BLENDER METHOD: Combine ingredients in blender jar; blend for about 1 minute. Scrape down sides with rubber spatula and blend for another 15 seconds or until smooth.

    BOTH METHODS: Refrigerate batter at least 1 hour. Cook on upside-down crepe griddle or in traditional pan. Brush pan lightly with oil or melted butter. Use about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per crepe. Immediately tilt pan in all directions, swirling the batter so it covers the bottom of the pan in a very thin layer. Work quickly before batter cooks too much to swirl. Return to heating unit and cook over MEDIUM-high heat. Cook crepe until bottom is browned. Then carefully turn with spatula. Use a Teflon coated or plastic spatula for coated pans. Brown other side for a few seconds. Remove from pan with spatula; stack on plate or tray. Makes about 20 to 25 crepes.
