Ingredients

For the Crepes:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• Nutella (as needed, about 1 tablespoon per crepe)

For Serving (optional):

• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Fresh strawberries, sliced
• Bananas, sliced
• Whipped cream

Timing

Making the Nutella Stuffed Crepes takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 20 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 15-30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

Step 2: Cook the Crepes

1. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
2. Pour Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
3. Cook: Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds on the other side. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.

Step 3: Assemble the Crepes

1. Spread Nutella: Take one crepe and spread a generous layer of Nutella on one half.
2. Fold: Fold the crepe in half, then fold it in half again to create a triangle or roll it up.

Step 4: Serve

1. Garnish: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh strawberries, bananas, or whipped cream if desired.
2. Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm.
