INGREDIENTS
For the Crepes:
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup (240ml) milk
1/2 cup (120ml) water
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
For the Filling:
1/2 cup (120g) Nutella (or more, to taste)
Optional: Fresh berries, banana slices, whipped cream, powdered sugar, chopped nuts
PREPARATION STEPS
Make the Crepe Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs
Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine
Add the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt; whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Rest the Batter:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps the flour absorb the liquid, resulting in tender crepes.
Cook the Crepes:
Heat a lightly oiled or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each crepe
Quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute.
Remove the crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on top of each other to keep them warm.
Assemble the Nutella Crepes:
Spread a generous layer of Nutella over one side of each crepe. If desired, add fresh berries, banana slices, or other fillings of your choice.
Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
Serve:
Serve the Nutella crepes warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar and topped with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or additional fruit.
