In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then gradually whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and 30 grams of melted butter.
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking until smooth and combined. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water for the caramel over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let it cook until it reaches a deep amber color.
Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir in a pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of the remaining butter.
Pour about 60 milliliters of batter into the pan, swirling it around to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Once all crepes are cooked, drizzle with the cooled caramel sauce, fold or roll the crepes and serve immediately.
