Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to remove lumps and combine the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Gradually whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly runny.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in more tender crepes.

Step 5

Once ready to cook, heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or a neutral oil, wiping away excess with a paper towel.

Step 6

Pour or ladle about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, then quickly tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.

Step 7

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the underside is set. Flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook the other side for 30-60 seconds until done.

Step 8

Transfer the finished crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite fillings and toppings, such as strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or powdered sugar!
