CREPES FOUREES 
Here is a life saving recipe for an unexpected informal supper for droppers in who failed to drop out, and very little food in the house. Draft you a helper, because it takes 2 people to do this job efficiently.

First, make a thick cream sauce, as follows: 4 tbsp. flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 c. milk & a little beer

Grate, and melt into the sauce, about 1/2 pound of cheese (part American, part Romano is best). You will find that your sauce is now a bit too thick, which will permit you to beat in enough beer to bring it to the consistency of paperhanger's paste. Set aside about 1/3 cupful of the sauce, and into the other put as much diced, cooked ham, or other such leftovers -- shrimps, chicken, etc. -- as the sauce will comfortably accommodate. Taste this mess, and if necessary, pep it up with Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, or other seasonings. Keep this mess hot over hot water.

Now make the crepes. Use Aunt Jemima's Pancake Mix, like it says on the package, but thin the batter slightly with a couple of tablespoons of cream. As you deliver each cooked pancake, your helper puts a blob of the ham-cheese mixture on it, rolls it, secures it with a toothpick if necessary, and puts it in a hot buttered dish. He then spreads a little of the reserved sauce along the top (and the seam) and sprinkles a bit of stinky cheese on it. When the crepes are all made and all lined up on the dish, run them under the broiler to brown the tops. Serve at once. This way you can feed 6 people on the amount of ham that would barely have made 2 sandwiches.
