hours. Brush crepe pan with oil. Heat pan, but don't let it get too hot.
Place 1/2 a ladle of batter in pan and turn pan to form a coating. Batter
will stick to the pan.
Turn down heat, cook a few minutes, then using the blunt side of a knife
loosen the edges of the crepe. Lift the rest with your fingers and flip
over to cook on the other side just one minute. Do the same with the rest
of the batter. Or buy ready made crepes shells.

Place a heaping T of filling in the center of each crepe. Fold edges on top
like an envelope. Arrange crepes packages, seam side down into a buttered
baking dish. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 20 minutes. Reheat sauce and
spoon over baked crepes.
