Directions

  2. Add flour; cover and process until blended. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°.
  4. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. skillet over medium heat. Stir batter.

  11. Whisk in the butter, lemon juice, salt and cayenne.
  12. Pour over warm crepes; sprinkle with paprika.
  13. Serve immediately.
