Starting out with the basic pancake - read crepe - recipe by Delia:
2 eggs
110g plain flour
pinch of salt
200ml milk mixed with 75ml water
2 tbs melted butter
Sieve the flour & salt into a large mixing bowl, then make a well in the centre and break the eggs into it.
whisk the eggs - with a fork or electric whisk if you have it - incorporating the flour from around the eggs bit by bit.
then add small quantities of the milk/water mix gradually - ignore any lumps becuase they'll disappear
the batter should end up smooth with the consistency of thin cream
when you are ready to cook the pancakes add the 2 tbs melted butter into the batter and stir in
melt a small amount of butter around the pan & tip excess out - next get the pan really hot and then turn down to medium - pour in about 2 tbs batter (you'll need to test for the optium amount for your pan - yum!), and swirl around until the pan is evenly coated with batter
cook for about 1/2 minute and then loosen from the plan and get ready to flip!
The result:
Savoury fillings came first:
A ham, mushroom, garlic, cream and parsleymix:

All rolled up ready to devour!
Enjoy!
