Step 1
Whisk flour, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl.
Step 2
Make a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well and whisk until combined.
Step 3
Gradually add milk while whisking, then stir in melted butter until smooth.
Step 4
Let batter rest 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 5
Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until a water droplet sizzles instantly.
Step 6
Lightly butter the skillet. Pour 1/4 cup batter in and immediately tilt the pan in circles to spread thin.
Step 7
Cook 60–90 seconds until the bottom is pale golden, then flip and cook 30 seconds more.
Step 8
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring it occasionally and buttering the pan between crêpes.
Step 9
Stack crêpes and serve warm with jam, Nutella, berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
