Lemon Crepes

1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp. salt
Butter or oil for skillet

Lemon Sauce:
2 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 lemons, sliced paper thin, -seeded

Cream Filling:
1 cup Heavy cream, cold
2 tsp. Sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Crepe Batter:
Whisk egg and milk lightly together in medium mixing bowl. Add flour, sugar, lemon zest, and salt and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate covered at least 2 hours or overnight.

One hour before serving, make lemon sauce: heat water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan until sugar dissolves. Add lemon slices and simmer 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Make crepes: Coat crepe pan on 6-inch nonstick skillet with thin layerof butter or oil. Heat pan over medium-high heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter and quickly tilt pan to spread batter evenly. Cook until bottom is golden and edge has pulled away from side of pan, about 3 minutes. Turn crepe and cook second side about 1 minute. Let cool on plate and repeat with remaining batter to make 8 crepes in all. (Crepes can be cooked in advance and refrigerated or frozen, tightly wrapped. Warm in 300 degree oven before serving.)

Just before serving, make cream filling: beat cream, sugar, and vanilla in mixer bowl until stiff peaks form.

Place 2 crepes, golden side down, on each dessert plate. Spoon cream filling onto each crepe and roll up, folding in edges and placing seam side down on plates. Pour 1/4 cup lemon sauce over each serving, and serve at once.
