Ingredients

• For the Crêpes: 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.
• For the Filling: 1/2 cup (150 g) Nutella or other chocolate-hazelnut spread, 2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced).
• For Serving (Optional): Powdered sugar, whipped cream, extra strawberries.

Instructions

Mix the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

Rest and Prep

Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes. Heat a nonstick skillet (8–10-inch) over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.

Cook the Crêpes

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

Assemble and Serve

To assemble, spread 1 tbsp Nutella onto each crêpe, add a layer of sliced strawberries, and fold or roll up. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream and extra strawberries, if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure a smooth cooking process, utilize mixing bowls, a sturdy whisk, and a reliable nonstick skillet or crêpe pan. Use a spatula for flipping and a ladle or measuring cup to portion out the batter consistently. Be mindful of allergens as this recipe contains eggs, milk, wheat (gluten), and hazelnuts; check labels for soy if necessary.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Add a splash of orange liqueur like Grand Mariner to the batter for a citrusy depth of flavor. For a different nutty profile, substitute Nutella with almond or peanut butter. If you are serving guests with dietary restrictions, this recipe can easily be made with gluten-free flour.

Serviervorschläge

These crêpes pair beautifully with a glass of sparkling rosé or fresh-squeezed orange juice for a complete Galentine's experience. Serving them warm with a side of whipped cream ensures every bite is as luxurious as the last.
