GETTING READY
1. Prepare the filling by making the white sauce. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in medium saucepan. Remove from heat.

3. In 1 tablespoon, hot butter in medium skillet, sauté shallots 1 minute.
4. Wash and separate crabmeat pieces. Add crabmeat; sauté 2 minutes longer. Add wine, curry, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper, Worcestershire, and cayenne; cook over medium heat, stirring, 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the white sauce just until blended. Set aside to chill till required
5. Preheat oven to 350F.

MAKING
6. Make Crepes: In medium bowl, with rotary beater, beat milk with flour and salt until smooth. Add eggs; beat until well combined.
7. Slowly heat a 5-1/2-inch skillet. Brush pan lightly with salad oil.
8. Pour about 1-1/2 tablespoons batter into skillet, tilting pan so batter covers bottom completely. Cook until nicely browned on underside. Loosen edge; turn; cook until browned on other side. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack; then stack on waxed paper.
9. Repeat with rest of batter to make 18 crepes; lightly brush pan with oil before making each.
10. Remove filling from refrigerator. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoonful onto each crepe; fold two opposite sides over filling.
11. Arrange in shallow baking dish; cover with foil. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until heated through.
12. Meanwhile, make Topping: In small bowl, with rotary beater, beat egg yolk with salt until foamy; gradually beat in 2 tablespoons melted butter. Mix remaining butter with lemon juice; gradually beat into egg-yolk mixture.
13. With wire whisk or rubber scraper, fold in remaining white sauce just until combined.
