Gather @all-purpose flour{250%g}, @egg{3} and @vanilla extract{1%tsp}.

Whisk the flour, eggs, @sugar{2%tbsp}, @salt{} and a third of the @milk{500%ml} into a smooth thick paste, then whisk in the remaining milk, melted @butter{50%g} and vanilla.

Rest the batter for 30 minutes so the flour hydrates fully. ~{30%minutes}

Heat a lightly buttered non-stick pan over medium-high heat until a drop of batter sizzles on contact.

Pour in a small ladle of batter and immediately tilt and swirl the pan to coat the base thinly.

Cook about 1 minute until the edges lift and lace appears, flip, and give the second side 30 seconds. ~{90%seconds}

Stack the crêpes under a towel as you go, and serve with @lemon{1} and sugar, jam or chocolate spread.
