Sift dry ingredients. Combine eggs with milk, gradually beat into dry ingredients until batter is smooth.   Stir in butter Chill batter 2 hrs.  Brush a small heavy fry pan with butter and heat until a drop of water sizzles.  Pour a small amount of batter (2-3 tbsp.) into pan and tilt pan to form a very thin layer on bottom.  Cook over medium heat until lightly browned on one side.  Turn and brown other side.  Repeat until all batter is used.

Cheese sauce:
2 tbsp butter; 2 tbsp flour; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp dry mustard; dash paprika; dash cayenne; 1 1/4 c milk; 3/4 to 1 cup grated cheddar cheese.
