Chocolate Crepe
Start by whisking eggs and milk in a large bowl.
Add in remaining ingredients and whisk til throughly combined.
If desired pour through a fine strainer to get any clumps out.
Another option for making this is to add all ingredients to a blender and pulse til combined.
Using a shallow non-stick skillet, over medium heat, pour batter in about ⅓ C at a time.
Swirl batter to edges of pan to make a larger, thinner crepe.

Tips for Success:
- Use a shallow non-stick skillet. This is my favorite.
- When pouring the batter, use a measuring cup (about ⅓ for a 10" skillet ) to keep the proportions equal and mess-free.
- When the batter is in the pan, quickly tilt the pan to swirl the batter around. This spreads it out evenly into a large thin circle.
- Keep the pan at a medium heat, you want them to cook quickly but not burn the edges before the middle is done.
- Use a silicone spatula to flip. The silicone is soft and glides easily under the crepe.
- Don't attempt to flip until the middle is set, otherwise it will stick and rip.
- They cook quickly, don't walk away!
