Let the batter rest.. If you can make the batter the night before, or 8 hours before you plan to make crêpes, they will be better than straight away. This resting period allows the gluten in the flour to develop and bond to the milk and eggs, and this yields a more complex flavor.
I choose melted butter most of the time as it gives a much better flavor to your crepes and make them lighter in texture as well. However, note that this is more a matter of taste and you could totally replace the melted butter with vegetable oil in the same quantity (i.e. 50g melted butter = 50 ml vegetable oil).
Crêpes are an ultra-thin pancake common in France that can be made sweet or savory, typically rolled or folded with a variety of fillings from jam or Nutella to ham and cheese to seafood.
