(I'm assuming "teacup" is understatement -- I wouldn't try and whip up
an egg in a teacup.)

My point was that, once one undertakes to mix batter and set up a pan,
making 3, 12, or 20 is a small matter of time (and tearing up sheets
of waxed paper to put between). Crepes are *very* easy to freeze, and
for your next breakfast, you won't need a teacup, pan, egg, or cream
-- just a few seconds in the m'wave. I mean, there are things that
are highly unsuited to single cooking -- what're you going to do with
leftover Beef Wellington or souffle or green salad? But crepes are so
handy and useful -- don't even take up much space in a freezer
compartment.
