Ingredients

Units Scale

For Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup/100 gr plain flour
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cup (300 ml) 1 or 2% milk (semi-skimmed milk)
  • oil for the pan

For Chocolate Filling

  • 1 cup/6 oz/170 gr semi-sweet chocolate
  • 3/4 cup/180 ml heavy whipping cream

Instructions

How To Make The Crepe Batter

  1. Mix dry ingredients, flour and salt in a bowl using a whisk.
  2. Make a well in the center, then add the eggs, melted butter, and the milk. Stir with the whisk until smooth.
  3. Rest the batter for at least an hour, over night is even better. This will give the flour time to absorb all the liquid.
  4. While it is resting you will have time to make the chocolate cream and let it cool following the instructions below. Do that now and come back for step 6.
  5. When the crepe batter has finished resting stir it again before cooking.
  6. Heat the pan (a good quality non-stick works well) to very hot.
  7. When the pan is ready brush it lightly with oil, quickly and pour in the batter, turning pan carefully to spread it around the sides.
  8. Cook until the edges start to curl and get crispy and the underside is light brown 2-3 minutes.
  9. Slide spatula (I use a long fish flipper) under the crepe and lift and flip quickly. No need to oil the pan again.
  10. When the first crepe is done place in an oven proof dish and keep it warm.
  11. Cook the remaining batter, only use a small amount of oil if necessary.

How To Make The Chocolate Ganache

  1. Chop or grate the chocolate into small pieces.
  2. Place chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
  3. Heat the whipping cream in a pan on the stove or in a microwave for up to a minute (using a heat-proof bowl or glass measuring cup) be careful not to boil or overheat the whipping cream.
  4. Pour the whipping cream over the chocolate and let it sit a couple of minutes to melt the chocolate.
  5. Using a whisk stir the chocolate and whipping cream in a small circular motion getting larger as the two ingredients begin to mix together.
  6. Let the chocolate cool down to room temperature before adding to crepes.
  7. Go back to step 6 of How To Make The Crepe Batter.

How To Serve

  1. On the serving plate fold the crepe in half once to make a half circle, next fold the crepe in half again forming a pie shape.
  2. Then, lift the top two layers of the folded crepe place a spoonful of the chocolate ganache into each pocket.
  3. You can also spoon a dollop on top.
  4. The chocolate cream will ooze a little and form a most delicious chocolate smile beckoning you to take the first bite!

Notes

Tips

  • Resting the batter is important as it will produce a quality thin crepe.
  • Cook hot and quickly or the crepes may turn out rubbery if cooked on a too low heat or too long.
  • Plan the preparation of the fillings and toppings ahead of time so the crepes don't sit too long waiting.
  • Be patient, the first crepe made is never the best!
