1. Prepare the dry ingredients

   In a large bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, brown sugar, salt and baking powder. Lightly mix with the whisk.

   Time: PT5M

2. Prepare the liquid ingredients

   In a second bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until a foamy consistency is reached. Add the milk, crème fraîche, slightly warm melted butter and, if desired, the rum. Mix quickly.

   Time: PT5M

3. Combine the two mixtures

   Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring gently with the whisk until a smooth, homogeneous batter is obtained, without lumps.

   Time: PT2M

4. Batter rest

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest for 1 hour at room temperature. Rest allows the starches to hydrate and the batter to become more supple.

   Time: PT1H

5. Heat the pan

   Heat the non‑stick pan over medium heat (about 180 °C). Add a small knob of butter and let it melt, spreading it over the entire surface.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 180°C

6. Cook the crepes

   Pour a small ladle of batter into the center of the pan, swirl the pan to spread a thin layer. Cook 1‑2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip with the spatula and cook another 30‑45 seconds. Repeat until the batter is exhausted.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 180°C

7. Serving

   Stack the hot crepes on a plate. Offer maple syrup, honey, grated chocolate, cocoa powder or jam according to taste. Enjoy immediately.
