Preparation Method Steps:
For the Crêpes:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
For the Filling:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, and water.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Cook until the mixture has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
To Assemble the Crêpes:
1. Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread out evenly into a thin circle.
3. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
4. Transfer the crêpe to a plate and fill with 1/4 cup of the berry filling.
5. Roll up the crêpe and enjoy.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure the batter is well-rested before cooking to allow the gluten to relax, which will result in more tender crêpes.
- Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to prevent the crêpes from sticking.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk. If it is too thin, add a little more flour.
- If you don't have a griddle, you can use a regular nonstick frying pan. Just make sure it is large enough to fit the crêpe.
- Serve the crêpes immediately with your favorite toppings.
