In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and optional salt substitute. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten. Add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and water, and whisk until fully combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until the batter is smooth. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with a small amount of unsalted butter or a non-stick spray.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, immediately tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe onto a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
Serve warm with your choice of filling, such as fresh fruit, low-sodium preserves, or a savory option.
