Crepes with Wild Leeks

If you are lucky like me and have a forest next to your bedroom, literally, go out before it is too late and look for wild leeks, nothing better this time of the year.
I enjoy making a Wild Leek Soup or Crepes with these lovely things.
For the crepes you need:
3 eggs
1 cup flour( pastry flour works best)
milk
half a stick of unsalted butter, melted

put the flour in a mixing bowl, add the eggs, stir and add as much milk as you need to get a creamy consistency and then add the butter. Let rest for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, wash the leeks, best twice, as there is a lot of sand in them. Dice and saute in some butter until just wilted. Add to the crepe batter and bake, one at the time in a crepe pan. Add salt and pepper, a little green salad and you have a lovely dinner, of course much better with a glass of light crisp white wine.
