- 1/2 cup – all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons – whipped cream cheese, room temperature

DIRECTIONS
Mix together 3/4 cup milk, eggs, oil and sugar. Using a fine mesh strainer or sifter, sift one-quarter of flour into egg mixture, stir and repeat until all flour has been incorporated into batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a generous 1/4 cup batter into the center of the skillet and rotate pan to spread batter. When the top of the crepe is set (about 2 minutes), flip and lightly brown the other side, cooking for an additional 2 minutes or so. Flip crepes onto a paper towel and set aside.
Mix together room-temperature cream cheese and chives in small bowl. Gently spread about 1 tablespoon of the mixture over half of each crepe. Add 1-ounce smoked salmon to each crepe and sprinkle with a 5-6 capers if desired. Fold crepes in half and again into triangles. Serve with an 8-ounce glass of milk.
