In a blender or small food processor blend flour, milk, water, egg, 1 tablespoon of butter, and a pinch salt 5 seconds. Turn off motor and scrape down sides of container. Blend batter 20 seconds more. Transfer batter to a bowl and let stand, covered, 15 minutes.

Heat a 6- to 7-inch crepe pan (preferably cast iron) over moderate heat until hot. Brush pan lightly with additional butter and heat until hot but not smoking. Remove pan from heat. Stir batter and half fill a ¼-cup measure with it. Pour batter into pan, tilting and rotating pan quickly to cover bottom with a thin layer of batter, and return any excess to bowl.

Return pan to heat and loosen edge of crepe with a spatula. Cook crepe until underside is browned lightly. Turn crepe and brown other side lightly. Transfer crepe to a plate. Make more crepes with remaining batter in same manner, brushing pan lightly with additional butter as necessary.

Preheat broiler.

Divide cream cheese and jelly among crepes. Fold each crepe into quarters and arrange, overlapping slightly, in a buttered shallow flameproof dish.

Brush crepes lightly with additional butter and sprinkle with sugar. Broil crepes under broiler about 4 inches from heat 1 minute, or until bubbling and golden.

Serves 2.
