MMMMM--------------------------CREPES--------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Milk
      4 lg Eggs
  3 3/4 oz Pastry flour
           +=OR=+
      3 oz All-purpose flour
           +=AND=+
    3/4 oz Cake flour
        pn Salt
    1/2 oz Melted butter

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
           Chives; blanched
           Caviar
           Sour cream or creme fraiche
           Butter; melted
 
  COMBINE ALL INGREDIENTS for the crepes, except the
  butter. Whisk well and pass through a fine strainer.
  Let rest 1 hour. Add butter before cooking the crepes.
  Cook the crepes and be careful not to brown them. Lay
  the crepe out on a piece of parchment or a clean towel
  (don't lay out more than 12 at a time or they will dry
  out). Fill with a spoonful of caviar and sour cream.
  Pull the edges of the crepes up to form small purses
  and tie with a chive. Serve warm or at room
  temperature, lightly brushed with butter.

  These crepes can also be rolled or folded in the more
  traditional manner if forming the purses seems like a
  daunting task. The result is beautiful, however, and
  worth the extra effort.

  This elegant recipe comes from Katherine Alford, chief
  instructor at the New York Cooking School. Katherine
  used to be the chef at the Quilted Giraffe in New York.
  These crepes are a signature dish of that restaurant.
