Let crepes thaw at room temperatur about1 hour before using. Cheese sauce: In a medium sucepan melt butter. Stir in flour and salt. Add milk, water and chicken bouillon granules all at once.

Repeat with remaining crepes. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over crepes. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Cover; bake in a 375~ oven for 18-20 minutes or till heated through.
