Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup water

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, and salt to make the crepe batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8-10 crepes.

- Place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center of each crepe and roll it up.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the sour cream. Heat gently, but do not boil. Pour the creamy sauce over the filled crepes.
- Sprinkle the chopped dill over the top and serve hot.
