3 large eggs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1\/3 C. all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

1\/3 C. buckwheat flour (or 1\/3 C. more all-purpose flour)<\/p>\n

1 C. whole milk<\/p>\n

About 2 T. melted butter<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a blender or food processor, whirl eggs, all-purpose and buckwheat flours, and milk until smooth, scraping down sides of container as necessary. The buckwheat flour may settle as batter stands; stir before cooking if necessary. Set a nonstick frying pan 8 inches across bottom over medium-high heat; when hot, brush bottom with butter, then wipe out excess with a paper towel. Lift pan from heat and pour in 1\/4 C. batter; immediately tilt pan and swirl batter to coat bottom. Cr\u00eape should set at once and form tiny bubbles. Set pan back over heat and cook cr\u00eape until lightly browned at the edge and dry-looking on the surface, 1 to 3 minutes. Run a wide spatula under cr\u00eape edge to loosen. Turn cr\u00eape over and fill immediately.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leek and Apple Cr\u00eapes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peel, core, and coarsely chop 5 sweet apples such as Fuji (about 2 1\/2 lbs. total). In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, melt 2 T. butter.

Spread about 1\/4 C. thinly sliced smoked salmon (about 1 1\/2 oz.), 2 T. cr\u00c3\u00a8me fra\u00c3\u00aeche or cream cheese, and 1 tsp. drained capers down center of each Basic Buckwheat Cr\u00eape in pan (step 4 of cr\u00eape recipe).
