Instructions
Place 1/2 cup flour in a medium bowl.
Combine 1/2 cup milk, 2 teaspoons sugar, oil, and egg; add mixture to flour, stirring with a whisk until almost smooth. Cover batter; chill for 1 hour.
Coat an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot.
Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan with a thin film. Cook about 1 minute. Carefully lift edge of crepe with a spatula to test for doneness. The crepe is ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from the pan and the underside is lightly browned. Turn crepe over: cook 30 seconds on the other side.
Place the crepe on a towel; allow it to cool. Repeat procedure until all of the batter is used. Stack crepes between single layers of wax paper or paper towels to prevent sticking.
Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, cocoa, and 2 teaspoons flour in a small saucepan; stir well.
Add 1/4 cup milk and yolk; stir with a whisk.
Place over low heat; cook 5 minutes or until thick.
Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
Pour into a large bowl; set aside to cool.
Beat egg whites at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1 tablespoon sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-fourth of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture, and gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
Spoon 1/3 cup souffl mixture into center of each crepe; fold in half.
Place filled crepes on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until puffy. Spoon Chocolate Sauce over each crepe; sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Garnish with orange rind strips, if desired.
