   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Crepes:
    4                    eggs
      1/4  Tsp.          salt
    2      C.            all-purpose flour
    2 1/2  C.            milk
    1      Stick         butter
                         Mousse:
    8                    eggs
    1      Pkg.          chocolate -- (12 oz.)
                         chips
    4      Tbsp.         rum
    1      C.            sugar

 Crepes: Combine eggs and salt. Gradually add flour
 alternately with milk, beating with electric mixer. Beat in
 melted butter. Refrigerate batter at least 1 hour. Cool crepes
 in a single layer on absorbent paper.
 Mousse: Separate eggs, placing egg yolks in a bowl,
 four whites in a second bowl and remaining four whites in a 3rd
 bowl. Melt chocolate over low heat. Add yolks, 1 at a time,
 beating well after each addition. Blend in rum. Remove from
 heat and cool slightly. Beat 4 egg whites in each bowl until
 frothy (beating all 8 together will not give you enough vol-
 ume). Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar to each bowl. Beat until
 stiff peaks form. Stir small amount of whites into chocolate
 mixture. Combine whites and fold chocolate mixture into them.
 Refrigerate.
 Fill crepes. Top with dollop of whipped cream and a few
 sliced almonds.
