So first, Make this cocoa syrup. It is amazing and easy.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups water
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups Dutch-processed cocoa
1 orange zested
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
In a small pot, bring water and sugar to a boil and whisk in cocoa, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until all of the solids have dissolved. Reduce sauce until slightly thickened. Cool to room temperature. Put it on everything.
Next the crepes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted (but not over heated
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
