Ingredients
2
tsp vegetable oil plus additional for cooking crêpes
1
tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
1
tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
1
oz cream cheese (1 tbsp plus 2 tsp), softened
1/4
tsp finely grated fresh lemon zest
Rounded 1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1
oz thinly sliced smoked salmon
2
medium radishes, cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks (1/4 cup)
Directions
2.
Blend milk, flour, egg, and 2 teaspoons oil in a blender until smooth. Add chives and dill and pulse 1 or 2 times to just combine. Chill batter, covered, 30 minutes.
3.
Stir batter to redistribute herbs. Lightly brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet with oil, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Holding skillet off heat, pour in half of batter (1/4 cup), immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is just set and pale golden around edges, 10 to 15 seconds. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof plastic spatula, then flip crêpe over carefully with your fingertips. Cook until underside is set, about20 seconds more. Transfer crêpe to a plate. Make another crêpe in same manner, brushing skillet again with oil.

Prepare filling and assemble hors d\'oeuvre:

Beginning at bottom, tightly roll up crêpe, then cut roll crosswise into 4 pieces, trimming ends if desired.
