Chocolate Crepe

1. In a bowl stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa and salt.
2. In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs into the milk, beat in the melted butter.
3. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet and beat until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
4. Place the batter into the refrigerator for one hour.
5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup (or less) batter onto the heated pan.

8. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom browns, then carefully flip the crepe and cook the second side for a minute more.
9. Have a plate ready to place the cooked crepe on.
10. Stack each cooked crepe onto the plate and place a piece of parchment paper between each crepe.
11. Repeat until all the dough is used.
