Units
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil, for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is set, then flip and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Fill with desired toppings such as whipped cream, strawberries, bananas, Nutella, or chocolate sauce. Fold or roll and serve.
Notes
- Batter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- For extra chocolate flavor, drizzle with chocolate ganache or top with chocolate chips.
- These crepes can also be served with savory fillings by omitting the sugar and vanilla.
