Chocolate Crepes


If you know me or know my blog you have read or heard that I love breakfast and especially breakfast for dinner "brinner".  I also love chocolate, strawberries and cool whip it all just goes so good together!  Before I was married I learned how to make crepes but only the regular kind.  I saw this chocolate version and I was like, awesome!  They were super yummy and I don't think I will ever make the regular version again!

Chocolate Crepes
3/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and powdered sugar.  Mix together the eggs, milk, water and vanilla.  Make a well in the dry ingredients; pour in the liquid ingredients.  Combine with a few swift strokes until just combined.  Ignore the lumps; they will take care of themselves.  Heat a 5 inch skilled over medium heat.  Coat skillet with nonstick cooking spray or a bit of butter.  Add a small amount of batter (we are talking less than 1/4 cup) and QUICKLY lift the skillet and rotated it to cover the bottom of the pan.  Cook until brown underneath (it cooks quick so watch it close) and flip to cook the other side.  Repeat with remaining batter. Store leftover batter, covered in the fridge.
Fill crepes with whipped cream and sliced strawberries.  You can roll them or fold them in fourths.
