- Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.
Cooking
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly in a thin layer.

Filling and Serving

- Drizzle generously with chocolate sauce and fold the crepe in half.

Notes
For best results, allow the batter to rest before cooking. Ensure your pan is properly heated to avoid burning.
