Directions
To
make crepes, place flour and salt in a bowl and add the eggs,
beating until blended. Gradually add the milk, beating constantly to
form a smooth batter. Brush some oil onto a shallow nonstick
pan and place over medium heat. Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of batter
and swirl it around to make a thin pancake. Cook 1 minute or until
pale brown and then turn over. Cook 1 more minute. Repeat until
there are 6 crepes. Lay a crepe on a plate and place a slice of
meat on it. Add another crepe, then a layer of cream cheese, another
crepe and then slices of tomato. Repeat with another 6 crepes and
fillings. Chill for an hour and then cut each stack into wedges.
Yield: 6 servings.

brown. Cut when cool and pack for that special picnic, car trip or
