2. Combine flour, cocoa powder, icing sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, combine milk, butter, vanilla extract and eggs.

4. Stir slowly and add mixture to the first bowl. Continue stirring slowly to avoid clumping.

5. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and spread over the entire surface.

6. Pour some dough into the middle of the pan. If necessary, trim a little to make the circles as even as possible.
