In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Let the crepe batter rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid. This helps achieve a tender texture and prevents tearing when cooking.
While the batter is resting, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and water until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps or sticking.
Once the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes, remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the sauce is creamy and glossy. Set aside and keep warm.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a very small amount of butter or oil.
Stir the crepe batter briefly, then pour approximately 1/4 cup batter into the skillet, swirling the pan immediately to spread evenly into a thin layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a warm plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
To serve, drizzle warm chocolate sauce generously over the gluten-free crepes. Optional: garnish with fresh berries or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Enjoy your delicious and indulgent gluten-free crepes with homemade chocolate sauce!
