1️⃣ Prepare the Crêpe Batter
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar and vanilla. Add milk gradually, then incorporate the flour and salt. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. Stir in the melted butter.
Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes for softer crêpes.
2️⃣ Cook the Crêpes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour a small ladle of batter and swirl the pan to spread it thinly.
Cook for about 1 minute per side, until lightly golden. Stack the crêpes and cover to keep them soft.
3️⃣ Make the Cream Filling
In a saucepan, mix the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened.
Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
4️⃣ Fill and Roll
Spread a generous spoonful of cream over each crêpe, roll tightly, and arrange on a plate.
