📝 Ingredients
For the Crêpe Batter
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2½ cups (600 ml) milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Filling
- 1–1½ cups Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread)
Optional Toppings
- Melted chocolate
- Powdered sugar
- Sliced strawberries 🍓
- Banana slices 🍌

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the eggs and vanilla.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking until smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes for tender crêpes.
2️⃣ Cook the Crêpes
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan.
- Swirl the pan so the batter forms a thin circle.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to lift.
- Flip and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
3️⃣ Fill the Crêpes
- While each crêpe is still warm, spread 2–3 tablespoons of Nutella evenly over the surface.
- Leave a small border around the edge to prevent spilling.
4️⃣ Roll and Serve
- Roll each crêpe tightly into a cylinder.
- Arrange on a serving plate.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with chopped hazelnuts or fresh fruit if desired.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream 🍨.
- Pair with fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
- Enjoy with coffee ☕ or hot chocolate.
💡 Tips
- Resting the batter makes the crêpes softer and easier to flip.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little extra milk.
- Warm the Nutella for 10–15 seconds in the microwave to make it easier to spread.
- Store leftover crêpes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
