Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter:
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling and Topping:
- 1/2 cup (150 grams) Nutella
- Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Blend flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, applying a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, quickly tilting and rotating the pan to create a thin, even circular crepe.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges become golden and slightly crisp, indicating readiness to flip.
- Carefully turn the crepe using a thin spatula and cook the opposite side for an additional 30 seconds until light brown.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and continue the process with remaining batter, stacking crepes between parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Once all crepes are prepared, generously spread Nutella across the surface of each crepe, ensuring even coverage.
- Gently fold or roll the crepes, creating elegant, compact parcels filled with rich chocolate-hazelnut spread.
- Dust the crepes with a delicate layer of powdered sugar for added sweetness and visual appeal.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh seasonal berries to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while crepes are still warm to maximize taste and texture.
Notes
- Crepe Consistency Matters: Blend the batter thoroughly to eliminate lumps, ensuring a silky-smooth texture that creates perfectly thin, delicate crepes.
- Temperature Control: Use medium heat to prevent burning and achieve a golden-brown color, which guarantees even cooking and a tender crepe.
- Nutella Spreading Technique: Warm Nutella slightly for easier spreading, creating a more even and luxurious filling that melts smoothly across the crepe surface.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap regular milk with almond or oat milk for a lactose-free version, and use gluten-free flour to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising taste.
