A deliciously easy and quick cocoa crepe recipe featuring a smooth cocoa-flavored batter that yields about 15 thin, chocolatey crepes perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 250 g flour
  • 30 g 100% Weiss cocoa powder
  • 1 sachet vanilla sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 520 ml milk
  • 60 g semi-salted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, Weiss cocoa powder, and vanilla sugar thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  2. Add eggs: Crack the eggs into the dry mixture and blend well, creating a thick batter base.
  3. Incorporate milk gradually: Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth consistency.
  4. Mix in melted butter: Add the melted semi-salted butter to the batter, stirring until it becomes smooth and fluid.
  5. Rest the batter: Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the batter sit at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flour to absorb moisture and improve texture.
  6. Cook the crepes: Heat a crepe pan over medium heat (no need to grease). Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for a few minutes until set on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side until done.
  7. Serve: Stack the crepes and serve warm, optionally topping with desired garnishes like powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or chocolate sauce.

Notes

  • Resting the batter for an hour improves texture and prevents tearing during cooking.
  • Using a non-greased hot crepe pan helps achieve a delicate, lightly crisp edge.
  • Adjust the milk quantity slightly if batter consistency feels too thick or thin.
  • These crepes can be served sweet with toppings like whipped cream or fruit, or even with savory fillings if desired.
