Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter
- 2 tablespoons (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon (12.5 g) granulated sugar
Instructions
- Blend flour and cocoa powder in a mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- In a separate container, whisk eggs, then incorporate milk and melted butter until well integrated.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring consistently to eliminate lumps and achieve a silky, homogeneous batter.
- Allow batter to rest at ambient temperature for 15 minutes, enabling ingredients to harmonize and gluten to relax.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium flame (around 350°F), applying a delicate butter coating to prevent sticking.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and rotating to spread a thin, even layer.
- Cook for 45-60 seconds until edges appear slightly crisp and surface loses its glossy sheen, indicating readiness to flip.
- Gently turn crepe using a thin spatula, cooking reverse side for an additional 30-45 seconds until lightly golden.
- Transfer completed crepe to a waiting plate, maintaining a gentle stack to preserve warmth and prevent drying.
- Repeat cooking process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain consistent browning.
- Serve immediately with preferred sweet or savory accompaniments for a delectable dining experience.
Notes
- Resting the batter helps develop gluten and ensures smoother, more tender crepes with a delicate texture.
- Use a light touch when swirling the pan to create thin, even crepes that cook quickly and evenly.
- Experiment with alternative flours like almond or gluten-free blends for dietary modifications without compromising taste.
- Control heat carefully to prevent burning, watching for golden-brown edges as a sign of perfect doneness.
