There is something so special about waking up to the smell of chocolate cooking in the kitchen. These crepes are very thin and tender, making them the ideal vehicle for all your favorite toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or a warm drizzle of chocolate spread.

My biggest tip for getting these perfect is to let the batter rest in the fridge for at least thirty minutes before you start cooking. This helps the flour hydrate properly, which ensures your crepes do not tear when you flip them over in the pan.

🧺 Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Extra butter for the pan

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
4
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with a little butter.
6
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it quickly to coat the bottom in a thin, even layer.
7
Cook for about one minute until the edges lift slightly, then carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
8
Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

💡 Tips

You can keep finished crepes warm by stacking them on a plate covered with foil in a low oven. If you have leftovers, place parchment paper between each crepe and store them in an airtight bag in the fridge for up to two days.
