Preparation

Prepare the Crepes:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter. Pour a ladleful of batter and swirl to coat the pan evenly.

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until all the batter is used. Set the crepes aside.

Make the Custard Filling:

In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm.

In a bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the mixture, whisking constantly.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool completely.

Assemble the Roll:

Lay a crepe on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of custard filling over it. Roll the crepe tightly.

Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Decorate and Serve:

Dust the rolled crepes with powdered sugar before slicing them into small rolls.
