Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   Begin by cracking the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to whisk them gently, incorporating air for a smooth texture. Set aside.

2. Melt the Butter:
   In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, let it cool slightly before adding it to the egg mixture along with the milk. Stir to combine.

3. Sift the Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder to ensure they’re free from lumps. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.

4. Whisk for Smoothness:
   Use a whisk to mix everything together until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. You want the consistency to resemble that of heavy cream.

5. Rest the Batter:
   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes. This allows the flour to fully hydrate, ensuring the crepes cook evenly.

6. Cook the Crepes:
   Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter. Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of batter into the center, then swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly over the surface.

7. Flip the Crepes:
   Allow the crepe to cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly from the pan. Use a spatula to gently flip it and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute, until lightly golden.

8. Repeat and Serve:
   Continue the process until all the batter is used up. Stack the crepes on a plate as you go. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

These Cocoa Crepes are a delightful dessert for any occasion, offering a rich chocolate flavor wrapped in a thin, tender crepe. They are perfect for a special breakfast, a luxurious dessert, or a decadent treat at your next gathering. Enjoy the sweet, indulgent taste that will surely impress your guests!
