Ingredients
1 cup milk
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
1 pinch salt

Combine milk, flour, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, and salt in a blender; process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with remaining oil. Pour 1/8 of the crêpe batter (about 1/4 cup) into the pan; tilt the pan until batter coats the entire surface. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side, then remove to a plate. Repeat to cook remaining crêpes.
