-------- ------------ ------------
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup masa harina
1 Tbsp unbleached white flour -- heaping OR 1 level Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil cooking spray -- and butter, for the pan
Place the egg, milk, masa harina, flour or cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl. Either whisk the dickens out of the batter or pour it into a food processor and buzz until thoroughly combined. Let stand for an hour.
Heat a crepe pan - that is, any 5 1/2 to 6-inch skillet with rounded side, nonstick or cast aluminum or stainless steel. Spray it with oil and place it over medium heat. When the pan is nice and hot, brush it with a bit of butter.
Once the butter sizzles and then stops sizzling, pour in just enough
batter to coat the pan thinly. Shake the pan to distribute the batter
evenly, and cook the crepe until the top side has a slightly duller, drier finish, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the crepe and let it cook for another 30 seconds, then slide the finished crepe onto a plate to await whatever filling you might with to give it, placing wax paper between crepes. Please note, the second side a crepe never browns as prettily as the first.
Makes about 8 crepes.

almost anything and make it look and taste good; and they can serve as
appetizer, main course, or dessert; for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a
snack, depending on filling and presentation. Wanda's soft corn crepes are divine with anything, but the flavor of the masa harina makes them especially good with Southwestern tastes; A black-bean-and-
