  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour together with the granulated sugar, cocoa powder and sea salt. Make a well, add the eggs, the vanilla bean paste, and 1/2 of the milk/chocolate/butter. Start mixing from the center going outwards taking a little bit of flour at a time. NOTE: This is the secret to get a batter with no lumps! Add the rest of the milk/chocolate/butter.
    5 oz all-purpose flour, 2 Tbsp granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 1/16 tsp sea salt, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

PROOF

  • Cover the batter with a plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for 1 hour.

COOK!

  • Heat your Pancake pan on a medium heat 5 minutes prior starting making your Crêpes.
    When ready, lightly oil the surface with a kitchen towel and pour one large scoop of batter in your pan, spreading it over while moving your pan into a gentle circle.
    Once one side is cooked, flip it over. Cook it for a few seconds more.
  • Enjoy these crêpes with homemade chantilly and cocoa powder. It's delicious! Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
  • NOTE: As a rule, store your crêpes in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
