Instructions

Step 1

Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium bowl. Sift flour and salt together, then add to egg mixture, whisking until just smooth.

Step 2

Heat oil in a 10" nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Pour in about 3 tbsp. of the batter and quickly tilt skillet, swirling batter to coat bottom of skillet. Cook crêpe until lightly browned, about 1 minute, then flip with a spatula and cook for about 15 seconds more. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat process with remaining batter, stacking crêpes as they are done. Allow crêpes to cool.

Step 3

Roll 2-3 crepes at a time into cylinders and slice crosswise into 1⁄4"-thick strips. Divide between 2 warm soup bowls, add broth, and garnish with chives.
