    Meanwhile, make the crêpes - Combine all ingredients in electric blender, cover and process until smooth. Coat an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray, place over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan with a thin film. Cook about 1 ½ minutes on each side. (Crêpe should easily be lifted to flip and remove when done cooking). Place crêpe on wax paper and let cool. Repeat process until all batter is used.
