Sprinkle in the flour & stir till it disappears. Slowly pour in the soymilk, stirring. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the dill & tarragon. Cook at a simmer till the sauce thickens.

FILLING: Trim about ½-inch of the asparagus stalks & scrape off any tough looking skin. Cut stalks in half & steam till tender crisp.
ASSEMBLE: Place 6 asparagus stalks in the centre of each crepe, letting the tips protrude from the top & overlapping the halved stalks in the centre if necessary. Spoon a very small amount of sauce over the asparagus. fold one end of the crepe in towards the centre & overlap the other end over it. Arrange the crepes, folded side down, in an oiled, shallow baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce evenly over the crepes. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until just heated through. Serve at once.
