Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
- 1/2 cup (150 g) Nutella
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
Garnish:
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Craft a silky-smooth batter by vigorously blending flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until completely homogeneous with no lumps visible.
- Prepare a non-stick skillet by warming it over medium heat and delicately coating the surface with a whisper-thin layer of butter.
- Carefully ladle approximately a quarter cup of batter into the heated pan, immediately rotating and tilting the skillet to create a uniform, paper-thin circular layer.
- Allow the crepe to cook until its edges become slightly crisp and lift subtly from the pan’s surface, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Gently flip the delicate crepe using a thin spatula and briefly cook the opposite side for an additional 30 seconds until lightly golden.
- While the crepe is still warm, generously spread a luxurious layer of Nutella across its surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully fold or roll the crepe, creating an elegant presentation that encases the rich chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Finish the crepes by elegantly dusting with a light snowfall of powdered sugar and optionally garnishing with dollops of whipped cream and a scattering of fresh berries.
Notes
- Consistency is key when whisking the batter, ensuring no lumps for silky-smooth crepes that cook evenly.
- Use a light touch when swirling the pan to create thin, delicate crepes that melt in your mouth.
- For gluten-free options, swap wheat flour with almond or rice flour to accommodate different dietary needs.
- Warm Nutella slightly for easier spreading and a more luxurious, velvety texture that glides smoothly across the crepe surface.
