Prepare the Crêpe Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and vanilla bean paste. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Crêpes
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of unsalted butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. Transfer the crêpe to a plate and repeat until all the batter is used.
