Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Nutella
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- powdered sugar (for garnish)
- fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
- Blend flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt into a silky, lump-free batter using a whisk.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, applying a delicate layer of cooking spray or butter.
- Gently ladle approximately 14 cup of batter into the pan, tilting and rotating to create a thin, uniform circular layer.
- Cook the crepe for roughly 60-90 seconds until the edges turn golden and slightly crisp, then carefully flip and cook the opposite side for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, stacking finished crepes on a plate.
- Whip heavy cream until it develops soft, billowy peaks that hold their shape momentarily.
- Gently incorporate Nutella into the whipped cream, creating a luxurious, marbled chocolate cream filling.
- Spread a generous layer of the Nutella cream across each crepe, then elegantly fold or roll into a delicate parcel.
- Finish by dusting the crepes with a light snowfall of powdered sugar and garnish with vibrant, fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance.
Notes
- Aim for a thin, smooth batter by whisking ingredients thoroughly and letting it rest for 15-30 minutes to prevent lumps and ensure delicate, lacy crepes.
- Use medium heat and lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking and achieve a golden-brown color without burning the delicate crepe.
- Experiment with different folding styles like triangles, rolls, or quarter-moon shapes to add visual appeal and make serving more interesting.
- Swap wheat flour for gluten-free alternatives like almond or rice flour, use dairy-free milk and cream for lactose-intolerant guests, and replace Nutella with dark chocolate or nut-free spreads for allergy considerations.
