03 — Method
- Sift the flour into the bowl, make a well in the center and crack in the eggs with the sugar and fleur de sel.
- Whisk from the center outward, adding the milk gradually to avoid lumps.
- Whisk in the cooled melted butter and vanilla extract until the batter is perfectly smooth.
- Rest the batter 1 hour in the fridge so the gluten relaxes and the crêpes come out thin.
- Lightly brush the pan with butter, heat over high heat, then pour in a ladle of batter, tilting the pan to spread it.
- Cook each crêpe 1 minute per side, flipping gently with a spatula, then stack on a warm plate.
- Serve right away with sugar, jam, honey or chocolate.
