Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 cups milk (2%)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup salted butter, melted

Directions
- Place flour in a bowl.
- Whisk together milk and eggs until blended.

- Pour batter through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Remove bowl from refrigerator and whisk batter.
- Heat an 8 inch non-stick crepe pan or frypan over medium-low heat. Lightly coat pan with additional butter. Remove pan from heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan. Swirl pan until it is coated on bottom with batter.
- Return pan to medium-low heat and cook until crepe is firm around edges and lightly browned, about 1 minute.
- Loosen edges of crepe from pan using a spatula. Slide spatula under crepe and quickly flip it over; cook for an additional 30 seconds or just until lightly browned.
- Transfer crepe to a parchment paper-lined large rimmed baking sheet.
