Unsweetened cocoa powder | 20g |
Whole milk | 220ml |

Instructions:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
