Ingredients

• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) whole milk
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (150 g) Nutella or other chocolate-hazelnut spread
• 2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Extra strawberries (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, whisking until smooth and lump-free. Let batter rest for 10–15 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet (8–10-inch) over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom thinly. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until edges lift and bottom is golden.

Step 6

Flip the crêpe and cook for another 30–60 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking crêpes with parchment between.

Step 7

To assemble, spread 1 tbsp Nutella onto each crêpe, add a layer of sliced strawberries, and fold or roll up.

Step 8

Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream and extra strawberries, if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ensure your nonstick skillet is properly heated and lightly buttered before starting. Letting the batter rest for at least 10 minutes is a crucial step to ensure the crêpes are tender rather than rubbery. When cooking, use a thin spatula to gently lift the edges and flip with ease.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For those with dietary restrictions, you can easily use gluten-free flour to create a gluten-free version. If you want a different flavor profile, try substituting Nutella with almond or peanut butter for a delightful nutty twist.

Serviervorschläge

Pair these beautiful crêpes with a chilled glass of sparkling rosé or fresh-squeezed orange juice for a complete brunch experience. For an extra touch of flavor, add a splash of orange liqueur like Grand Marnier to the batter before cooking.

Stack cooked crêpes separated with parchment paper and cover loosely with foil. Keep them in a low oven or warm spot until serving.

Use a nonstick skillet over medium heat, brushing lightly with butter for even browning and easy flipping without tearing.

→ Can I substitute Nutella with other spreads?
