Instructions

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
   • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
   • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Cook the Crepes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
   • Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
   • Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is set. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. Assemble the Crepes:
   • Place a crepe on a plate. Add a few slices of strawberries in the center and drizzle with whipped cream or chocolate sauce if desired. Fold or roll the crepe.
   • Repeat with the remaining crepes.
4. Garnish and Serve:
   • Dust the crepes with powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or shaved chocolate. Serve immediately.
