RED VELVET CREPES WITH CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE

I love anything Red Velvet! If there was Red Velvet Tea I'd drink it. I'm always looking for something interesting to make for breakfast and Crepes are always at the top of my list for delicious breakfast. I made Apple Stuffed Crepes which were on point! Caramelized Apples are just perfect for Crepes. Note, make them again. Find my other Red Velvet love on this Mug Cake Recipe. My love for all things Red Velvet just called me to this breakfast dish. And so I just had to give it a go. They smelled delicious even before I finished cooking. Guilty! I ate the first one I made. "It's not perfect babe, you can't present such imperfections..." my brain coerced me, of course the perfectionist ocd in me agreed and in went the first, and the second... tihihihi... They always say, you never know if its good unless you try it, and they were right. Red Velvet Crepes are that good.That addictive and that damn delicious! They only take 5 minutes to prep, and 15 minutes to cook, 60 seconds to eat lol! Very simple to make you'll be making them daily if you can. These would have been perfect for Valentines Day, but there is always next year aye, or make everyday special and make these Red Velvet Crepes for your loved ones. Or just for yourself, self love is cool too😊. I didn't add any filling, just sprinkled with icing Sugar and drizzled with Chocolate Sauce! Can I hear someone say Aiyeeeei!

Ingredients

1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
¼ Teaspoon Salt
1½ Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1¼ Cups Milk
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
3 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Red Food Coloring
2 Tablespoons Butter, melted

Method

In a large bowl pour the All Purpose Flour, add the Salt, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Cocoa Powder

-Whisk the dry ingredients

-All the dry ingredients should be well incorporated. Set aside the dry ingredients mixture. Now for the wet ingredients. Pour the Milk in another bowl

-Add in the melted Butter

-Beat the egg. Add into the Milk

-Add Sugar

-Add the Vanilla Essence

-Add the Red Food Coloring

-Beat the mixture until all the wet ingredients combine. The wet ingredients should form a smooth batter like this

-Pour your wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients mixture

-Whisk the two mixtures until evenly combined and there is no sign of flour on the sides of the bowl

-Ensure the batter is smooth and has a runny consistency because you want very thin crepes
-If the batter is too heavy it will not run around the pan. Add more milk but a little at a time until it is runny

-Heat your Non Stick Skillet/Pan and add a little oil or batter

Once the Non stick skilett/pan is hot enough, pour a laddle ful spoonful into the center of the pan. I put my batter in a measuring jar for easier pouring. You can use a serving spoon to measure the amount you pour in your pan. Take the Non stick pan from the heat and swirl it around so that the crepe batter fills the pan all around. Return to heat and let it cook until bubbles form at the top

-Once the top stops being shiny, gently tug at the sides of the Crepe so that you can turn it over. Since the Crepes are really thin, take your time lifting it from the pan as you turn to avoid breaking it

-As you can see the bottom part is golden brown. Give the second side a few seconds and remove from pan

Repeat process until all the batter is used up. Keep warm by covering with a Kitchen cloth or switch your oven on, let it warm then switch off and place your Crepes as you finish cooking the rest. Serve warm sprinkled with Icing Sugar and drizzled with Chocolate Sauce for that decadent look and taste. Enjoy these scrumptious Red Velvet Crepes with Chocolate Drizzle
