Time 58m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 ΒΌ cups milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon butter, or more as needed
2 teaspoons butter
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons hazelnut liqueur
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ripe bananas, sliced

Steps:

  • Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Combine 1 1/4 cups milk, egg, and oil in a second bowl and beat until well combined. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine. Set batter aside for 30 minutes.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet. Immediately rotate the skillet until batter coats the cooking surface in a thin layer. Cook until the top of the crepe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crepe; flip crepe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Slide crepe onto a warmed plate.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your crepes will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your crepes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the crepes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the crepes cook evenly without burning. If the heat is too high, the crepes will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Flip the crepes carefully: Use a thin spatula to flip the crepes. Be careful not to tear the crepes.
  • Fill the crepes immediately: Once the crepes are cooked, fill them immediately with your favorite fillings. This will help prevent the crepes from drying out.

Chocolate dessert crepes are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can easily make these crepes at home. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give chocolate dessert crepes a try. You won't be disappointed!
