• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Butter, for frying

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add all of the ingredients in the order...: Add all of the ingredients in the order listed (except the butter) into a blender and blend until smooth. You can also whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. Let the batter sit for 15-20 minutes if there are a lot of bubbles on top.
2. 2Heat a small 8-inch skillet over medium high...: Heat a small 8-inch skillet over medium high heat. Spread a little butter to lightly coat the skillet (I use a half-wrapped stick of butter. It's quick and easy.)
3. 3Add a small amount of crepe batter to...: Add a small amount of crepe batter to the hot skillet and tilt the pan around so the batter covers the bottom and creates a circle shape.
4. 4Cook until the edges and most of the...: Cook until the edges and most of the top of the crepe is no longer wet looking, about 1 min. Bubbles should also break the surface.
5. 5Run a rubber spatula around the edges of...: Run a rubber spatula around the edges of the crepe to loosen it and then flip it over. Cook it for another 20-30 seconds, then transfer it to a plate.
6. 6Cover it with a tea towel to keep...: Cover it with a tea towel to keep warm and repeat the process with the remaining crepe batter, adding butter before each crepe.
7. 7If the crepes aren't cooking up in at...: If the crepes aren't cooking up in at least 90 seconds on the first side, turn the heat up a bit. If they're cooking too fast and starting to scorch, turn the heat down. It might take you a few crepes to get the right temperature.
8. 8Serve crepes however you like! I like them...: Serve crepes however you like! I like them with berries and whipped cream. You can also drizzle some honey, maple syrup, or chocolate sauce on top.
