Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 24 asparagus spears cooked and drained

Sauce:

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • dash cayenne pepper
  • paprika

Instructions
 

  • For the crepe batter, combine milk and egg in a blender; cover and process until blended. Add flour; cover and process until smooth—Refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a lightly greased 8-inch skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir the chilled batter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly lift and tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until the top appears dry; turn the crepe over and cook until the bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  • Place 6 asparagus spears on one side of each crepe; roll up. Place the rolled crepes in a greased 11x7-inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
  • For the lemon butter sauce, whisk egg yolks and water in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and coats the back of a metal spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°F.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the butter, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the warm lemon butter sauce over the baked crepes and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
  • Serve the asparagus crepes immediately while warm.
