Add the milk to the flour a little at a time, mixing the batter to a smooth paste each time you add more milk.
1 ¼ cup milk
When all of the milk is added, whisk in the beaten eggs and the melted butter.
2 tbsp butter
Pass the crêpe batter through a sieve (strainer) to remove any clumps that remain in the batter.
To bake the crêpes: Place a large (buttered) rectangular baking tray (with sides) in a pre-heated 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the hot baking tray and add a thin layer of crêpe batter over the entire bottom of the baking tray.
Return the baking tray to the oven and bake at the same temperature just until the sides of the crêpe begin to pull away from the tray. Remove the baking tray and carefully pull the crêpe off of the tray. Transfer it to parchment paper or a work surface to cool.Make crêpes as long as the batter remains. Freeze any extra crêpes!
