1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
2
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
3
Combine Both Mixtures
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until the batter is smooth and has a pourable consistency. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.
4
Rest the Batter
Cover the batter with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This resting period helps to relax the gluten in the flour, resulting in more tender crepes.

5
Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. You can lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
6
Cook the Crepes
Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly across the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
7
Flip the Crepe
Using a spatula, gently lift the edge of the crepe and flip it over. Cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side until it is lightly golden.
8
Repeat
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and continue the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on the plate as you go. You can keep the crepes warm in a low oven if desired.
