The quantities follow this count.

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp butter, melted, plus extra for the pan
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar or jam, for serving

How to cook it

Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl, whisk in the eggs, then gradually whisk in the milk and melted butter until the batter is smooth and thin.
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a lightly buttered nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat, ladle in a thin layer of batter, and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Cook for about 1 minute, until the edges lift and the underside turns golden, then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds more.
Stack the crepes on a plate, sprinkling a little sugar between them or spreading them with jam, and repeat with the remaining batter.
Fold the warm crepes into quarters and serve for a genuine casual crepe-night dinner.
