Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk (I use 2%)
- 4 large eggs
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted, if desired)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Optional toppings: - Whipped cream
- Nutella
- Jam
- Fresh berries
- Bananas
- Nuts
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Gradually add the sifted flour and cocoa powder, whisking to combine until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Pour ¼ cup of the batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is set. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the crepes warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, Nutella, jam, fresh berries, or sliced bananas.
Notes
- Resting the batter allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crepes.
- For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle Nutella or chocolate syrup over the crepes before serving.
