In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, large eggs, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
Once the pan is hot, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown. Flip the crepe gently using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
To assemble, spread 1-2 tablespoons of lemon curd on each crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then fold it in quarters to form a triangle, or roll it up tightly for a cylindrical shape.
Dust the assembled crepes with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon slices if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your zesty Lemon Crepes!
