Step 1
Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Make a well in the center and crack eggs into it.
Step 3
Pour half the milk into the well and whisk until smooth, gradually incorporating flour from the edges.
Step 4
Whisk in remaining milk and water until batter is thin and lump-free. Stir in melted butter and sugar.
Step 5
Let batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the surface.
Step 7
Pour 3 tablespoons batter into the center and immediately tilt the pan in all directions to spread into a thin, even layer.
Step 8
Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the bottom is light golden, then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
Step 9
Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, buttering the pan lightly between crêpes.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of fillings and toppings.
