In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt to combine.
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then gradually whisk in the milk.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or neutral oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, quickly swirling it around to create a thin, even layer.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the Swedish thin pancakes warm, topped with powdered sugar, jam, fresh berries, or a drizzle of syrup. Roll them up or fold them for a classic presentation.
