Step 1
Combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and pinch of sugar in a bowl.
Step 2
Whisk until smooth and thin, like heavy cream. Let rest 5 minutes.
Step 3
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until water flicks sizzle, ~90 seconds.
Step 4
Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center, immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread thin.
Step 5
Cook 60-90 seconds until the bottom is light gold, then flip and cook 30 seconds on the other side.
Step 6
Slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Spread with jam, add fruit, roll or fold, and serve warm.
