Nutella crêpes Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups 2% or whole milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (unsalted, if possible)
- Pinch of kosher salt (omit if using salted butter)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar (if making sweet crepes)
- About 1 cup Nutella (for filling)
- Optional toppings: sliced bananas, strawberries, or icing sugar
Make the Batter:
In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt. Blend on high until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Pour into a bowl and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to thicken slightly.
Cook the Crêpes:
Heat a nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat.
Add a small amount of butter to coat the pan.
Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the crêpe is set.
Flip the crêpe and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Fill and Fold:
Spread Nutella over one half of the crêpe.
Fold the crêpe in half, covering the Nutella.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve:
Top with additional Nutella, fresh fruit, and a sprinkle of icing sugar.
These Nutella crêpes are perfect for special occasions or whenever you’re craving a sweet treat. Bon appétit!
Recipe Notes:
Resting the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure smooth and tender crêpes.
Pan Temperature: Cook crêpes on medium heat to achieve a golden-brown color without burning.
Serving Suggestions: Enhance the flavor by adding a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey on top.
Storage: Store leftover crêpes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Freezing: Freeze individual crêpes separated by parchment paper for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet over low heat.
