Step 1
Whisk flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and sugar in a bowl until smooth.
Step 2
Let batter rest 5 minutes so flour fully hydrates and bubbles release.
Step 3
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a water drop sizzles immediately.
Step 4
Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center, then tilt and swirl the pan to spread it thin.
Step 5
Cook until the bottom is light golden, ~90 seconds, then flip and cook the other side 30 seconds.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crêpes as you go.
Step 7
Serve warm with jam, Nutella, fresh berries, whipped cream, or lemon juice and sugar.
