Ingredients
Crêpes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Butter for cooking
Filling:
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thin enough to spread easily but not watery.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Crêpes: Pour a small ladle of batter into the center of the skillet and quickly tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin, circular layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crêpe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed.
- Prepare the Filling: While cooking the crêpes, place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Gently melt them over low heat or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Fill and Roll: Place a crêpe on a plate, spread a thin layer of the melted chocolate filling evenly over it, then roll the crêpe tightly into a cylinder. Repeat with all crêpes.
- Serve: Serve the rolled chocolate-filled crêpes warm for the best melty texture. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or add fresh berries for garnish.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results to avoid tearing the delicate crêpes.
- Batter consistency is key—if too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add a bit more flour.
- Feel free to use your preferred type of chocolate chips depending on sweetness level.
- For crispier edges, cook the crêpes slightly longer but be careful not to burn them.
- The optional butter in the filling makes the chocolate smoother and richer.
