Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup Nutella
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into it. Begin whisking the eggs gradually, incorporating the surrounding flour.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to create a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be similar to heavy cream.
- Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid and settle.
- Heat a non-stick crepe pan or 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter in a thin, even layer.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden and the surface looks dry.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook the other side for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, stacking crepes between parchment paper.
- To assemble, spread a generous layer of Nutella across the center of each warm crepe.
- Sprinkle fresh sliced strawberries over the Nutella.
- Fold the crepe sides inward, creating a rectangular package or roll into a cylinder.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with additional Nutella, or top with whipped cream before serving.
Tips
- Let your batter rest! This crucial 10-minute pause allows the flour to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in smoother, more tender crepes.
- Use a non-stick pan and keep the heat at medium - too hot, and your crepes will burn; too cool, and they won't develop that beautiful golden color.
- The first crepe is always a "test crepe" - don't get discouraged if it doesn't turn out perfectly. The subsequent ones will improve as your pan temperature stabilizes.
- For ultra-thin crepes, use a crepe spreader or quickly tilt and rotate the pan to distribute batter evenly.
- If you're not serving immediately, you can stack crepes between parchment paper and keep them warm in a low-temperature oven.
- Get creative with toppings! While strawberries are delicious, feel free to experiment with bananas, raspberries, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
