- Set aside.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Sauté onion in butter (or broth).

Steps:
- Crepes: Beat the milk with the eggs, the flour and a dash of salt. Make 8 crepes in an 8 inches diameter skillet, using 1/2 teaspoons of oil for each one.
- Filling: Wash and cut the scallions in slices and in a skillet, fry these in oil.
- Mash the garlic and add it to the onion as well as 3/4 cup of vegetable broth and the ground beef.
- Cook for 5 minutes. Drain the meat with a strainer and reserve the juices.
- Season the meat with half of the sour cream and 1 teaspoons of pepper. Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the meat.
- Place 3 tablespoons of the meat in each crepe. Fold the edges and roll.
- Place the crepes on a greased pan.
- Sauce: With the reserved juices from meat, complete with the rest of the broth to make 1 cup and bring to a boil.
- Mix the remaining sour cream with the rest of the cayenne pepper, the flour, and add this to the "boiling" broth. Add salt to taste.
- Pour this "sauce" over your crepe rolls and bake at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a good quality non-stick frying pan. This will help prevent the crepes from sticking and tearing.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the batter. If the pan is not hot enough, the crepes will not cook evenly.
- Pour the batter into the pan in a thin, even layer. This will help ensure that the crepes cook evenly.
- Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Do not overcook the crepes, or they will become dry and tough.
- Serve the crepes immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables.
