Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling and Toppings:
- Whipped cream or mascarpone
- Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries)
- Nutella or melted chocolate
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes.
- Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Assemble the Crepes:
- Spread Nutella, whipped cream, or your favorite filling on one side of the crepe. Fold or roll the crepe and top with fresh berries, powdered sugar, or more melted chocolate.
Notes
- Resting the batter allows the flour to hydrate and makes the crepes softer.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with caramel or add a scoop of ice cream.
- Store leftover crepes in the fridge for up to 2 days, separated by parchment paper and wrapped tightly.
