Ingredients

Method

In bowl, whisk flour with salt. Whisk together eggs, milk and 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the butter; pour over dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Strain into bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Heat 8-inch (20 cm) crêpe pan or skillet over medium heat. For each crêpe, brush pan with some of the remaining butter. Pour scant 1/4 cup (50 mL) batter into centre of pan, swirling to coat; cook, turning once, until golden, 1 minute. Transfer to plate. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper and wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze in airtight container for up to 1 month.)
