Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt (and sugar if making sweet crepes).
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack in the eggs.
Gradually add the milk while whisking, starting from the center and incorporating the flour little by little to avoid lumps.
Stir in the melted butter or oil and vanilla extract (if using). The batter should be smooth and slightly runny. Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes at room temperature to ensure tender crepes.
