Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly, add the sugar and salt and mix well until all combined.
- Add the milk, butter and sift the flour in gradually, whisking well until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large frying pan, add a few drops of oil and, using a ladle, pour some batter, tilting the pan so that it can spread evenly to cover the base of the pan.
- Fry for about 1 minute, then flip it over to cook on the other side too.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter, making sure you drip a tiny about of vegetable oil every time you make a new crêpe, that will prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Cover with a clean tea towel before you serve.

- The secret to making perfect crêpes is spreading the batter onto the pan into a really thin layer.
- It is crucial to use a non-stick pan, so you can flip the crêpes easily. It is beyond me how people used to cook in past without these fabulous non-stick pans, they are life saver. Once piled onto a plate, cover them either with a clean kitchen towel or foil, to keep nice and soft.
