In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour and salt; set aside.
In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together beaten eggs, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking until completely smooth and no lumps appear.
Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes. You can also cover and refrigerate overnight.
Lightly grease a 10-inch nonstick frying pan, or a crepe pan, with cooking spray and set the pan over medium heat.
Add 1/4-cup batter to the heated pan and swirl to completely cover the bottom of pan.
Cook for 1-½ to 2 minutes, or until edges of crepe start to curl up and the bottom of the crepe is a light golden brown.
Flip the crepe and continue to cook for 1 more minute, or until lightly browned.
Remove crepe from skillet; transfer to a plate and keep covered while working with the remaining batter.
Continue working with the remaining batter, wiping down the pan with a paper towel AND coating with cooking spray in between each crepe.

Whole milk is best, but if you want, you can also use 2% or even skim milk.
