For the crepes: (from The Joy of Cooking)

- Cover batter with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to 2 days.
- Heat skillet over medium heat with butter to grease the pan.
- Lift the pan off the heat and slowly pour in enough batter to cover the entire bottom with a very thin coating. Quickly tilt and rotate the pan to cover, then return to heat.
- Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until the bottom is lightly browned. Gently flip the crepe over, browning the other side for 1 minute or less.
- Remove crepe to plate. Repeat process with the remaining batter.
For the filling:
- Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted, add pears and cinnamon. Sautee 5-7 minutes, until pears are soft.
