DIRECTIONS
In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg and salt.
Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat. When the pan is hot add a teaspoon of butter and lightly coat the surface of the pan with the melted butter.
Pour one quarter cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface in a smooth and even layer.
After two minutes, lift up an edge of the crepe with a spatula to see if it is browning. When the underside has begun to brown, flip the crepe and cook the other side until it is also brown; about 2 minutes.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to cook the remaining crepes. Serve hot.

Oh come on. You're just jealous of George.Okay, drinks, appetizers, and crepes. Throw in a little fresh fruit, more drinks and you've got yourself a Merry Little Bliztmas. Besides, it's brunch, the big food comes later from the caterer.
Merry Christmas from us lucky housewives of Orange County!
