Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- Nutella, as needed for spreading
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, creating a light, pourable batter.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up to ensure even cooking of the crepes.
- Cook the First Side: Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the skillet and quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly across the surface.
- Watch for Edges to Brown: Cook the crepe until the edges turn golden brown and begin to lift from the pan, about 1 to 2 minutes, indicating the bottom is cooked.
- Flip the Crepe: Using a spatula, carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for about one more minute to set and lightly brown it as well.
- Remove and Fill: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Spread a generous amount of Nutella over one half of the crepe while it is still warm for easy spreading.
- Fold and Serve: Fold the crepe in half over the Nutella, and optionally fold once more for a triangle shape. Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the melty, indulgent filling.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned crepe pan for best results and easy flipping.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the crepes cook through.
- For thinner crepes, add a little more milk to the batter to achieve desired consistency.
- Nutella can be substituted with any chocolate-hazelnut spread or your favorite sweet filling.
- Crepes can be kept warm in a low oven while cooking remaining batter.
- Garnish with fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
