Chocolate Crepes With Orange Cream Cheese Whipped Cream

1. 1

   For the crepes:

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter and swirl to coat. Pour in a small amount of batter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until the crepe develops bubbles, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side for another minute or so. Place on a plate and cover with a double layer of a clean dish towel. Repeat with remaining batter.
