Photo: Crepes Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, large
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for pan
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Pinch salt
Directions
Various toppings: whipped cream, chocolate sauce, jams, powdered sugar, etc.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add remaining ingredients and whisk vigorously until combined, small lumps are ok. Set batter aside to rest for 20 minutes.
Heat an 8-inch nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with melted butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the hot pan, twirling the pan so the batter spreads out evenly into a very thin layer. Cook about 30 seconds until the crepe comes away from the sides of the pan. Gently flip the crepe over with your fingers or the help of a rubber spatula and continue cooking another few seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat cooking crepes until all the batter is used.
Now the crepes can be filled and topped to your liking. Try whipped cream, chocolate sauce, hazelnut spread, butter, jam, caramel sauce, powdered sugar, peanut butter, fresh fruit etc.

"Paula Dean did it again, with this recipe. I loved it very much! you must follow the recipe too get the best result. I subsituted the nutmeg for cinnamon and added a little white sugar in the batter just to make it a little sweet. I all so did the filing with fresh fruit, strawberrys and bannas i sauted the fruit in some cinnamon and a little brown sugar and butter. I was afraid at frist of the lumps in the batter after i mixed it, it came out perfect after i had put it in a nonstick pan with a little butter for tast; use a little butter or spray as possible it will work, out fine all you need is a little for this recipe this a easy recipe to make. All creps is a french thiner pancake that you can put different kinds of filling in it to make it your own that's all. " WOW THIS RECIPE WAS GREAT!. Thank you Paula Dean. Form Patty.

Crepes were very greasy and hard to handle. Too much butter. I would definitely add sugar next time.
