Crepes
Ingredients
3 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. water
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions
Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor and process about 1 minute. Scrape down sides with rubber spatula and blend about 30 seconds more. Refrigerate for 1 hour. To cook, heat omelet pan, crepe pan, or skillet over medium-high heat--pan should be just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Brush lightly with melted butter. For each crepe, pour in just enough batter to cover bottom of pan, tipping and tilting pan to move batter quickly over bottom. If crepe has holes, add a drop or two of batter to patch. Cook until light brown on bottom and dry on top. Remove from pan and stack on plate. Makes 12 crepes.

Chicken Glaze
Ingredients
4 Tbsp. butter
4 Tbsp. flour
3 c. chicken stock
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. rubbed sage

Directions
Make a roux by melting butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until foamy. Stir in flour to make a golden, bubbly paste. Gradually add chicken stock and seasonings and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
