• Blanch asparagus in generously salted boiling water until crisp tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to an ice water bath until cold; drain and pat dry. Top each crepe half with 2 slices prosciutto and 2 blanched asparagus spears, laying them parallel to long, cut side of crepe, leaving a 1/2-inch border at cut edges.

• Add the onion and continue to saute until the onion is translucent (about 3 more minutes). Set aside.
• In a medium sauce pan, melt the 3 tablespoons butter; add the flour, stirring until smooth. I cooked this mixture on medium-medium high for about two minutes trying to get it to brown, but no luck.
