Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to evenly coat the bottom.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
Repeat with remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate and covering to keep warm.
Fill with whipped cream, fresh fruit, Nutella, or chocolate sauce as desired. Fold and serve warm.

Notes

Letting the batter rest helps create tender crepes.
Use a blender for an ultra-smooth batter.
Crepes can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
