1. Place flour in a bowl; whisk in milk, eggs and salt until smooth. Heat a lightly greased 8 inch skillet; pour about 2 tbsp batter into centre of skillet. Spread into a 5 inch circle. Cook over medium heat until set; do not brown or turn. Repeat with remaining batter, making 18 crepes. Stack crepes with waxed paper in between; set aside.
