Instructions

1. Whisk the all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp of the granulated sugar, and fine salt together in a large mixing bowl for 30 seconds, breaking up any visible flour lumps.
2. Whisk the large eggs in a separate medium bowl for 30 seconds, then add the whole milk, water, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk until the mixture looks smooth and evenly combined.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture in a slow stream while whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes, until the batter is thin and mostly smooth with only tiny lumps remaining.
4. Strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl or large measuring cup, then let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes so the flour hydrates and the crêpes cook tender rather than rubbery.
5. While the batter rests, stir the remaining 2 tbsp granulated sugar with the lemon zest in a small bowl, rubbing the zest into the sugar with your fingertips for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly damp.
