Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh berries (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate, ensuring tender crepes.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until cooked through. Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
- Fill the Crepes: Take one cooked crepe and spread a generous tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread over half of its surface. Fold the crepe in half, then fold once more to form a triangle shape.
- Serve: Dust the filled crepes with powdered sugar and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts if desired. Serve warm, accompanied by fresh berries for added flavor and a pop of color. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes!
Notes
- For best results, allow the batter to rest before cooking to get tender crepes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a proper crepe pan to avoid sticking and for even cooking.
- You can substitute the chocolate hazelnut spread with any other favorite spread if preferred.
- Fresh berries add freshness but can be omitted or replaced with sliced bananas or whipped cream.
- Extra butter for cooking prevents the crepes from sticking and adds flavor.
