Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl until combined.

In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together until smooth.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain.

Add melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot.

Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly.

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.

Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.

Serve warm with your choice of fillings such as jam, Nutella, or fresh fruit.
