Equipment
- metal pan
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup milk (any kind) 320 ml
- 4 large eggs 220g
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour 94g
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 18g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for the crepe pan) 42g
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder to avoid any lumps. Add the pinch of salt.
- Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, then whisk everything together until the batter is completely smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
- Once the oil is warmed, turn the heat to low and pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin circle, then turning the heat back up to medium, once your crepe has spread out.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to look dry and can be easily lifted with a spatula. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate and covering with a clean, damp towel to keep them warm. Makes 12 crepes.
Notes
Blend it Up: A blender may be used for a smoother batter. You can blend the wet ingredients first, followed by the dry ingredients.
No Tears: If you're finding the crepes are tearing, make sure the skillet is properly heated and greased.
Thin Crepes: For thinner crepes, you can add a tablespoon or two more of milk to the batter.
Filling Suggestions: These crepes can be filled with anything from fresh fruit and whipped cream to chocolate hazelnut spread or yogurt with berry jam for a delightful treat.
