Prep Time25 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup Nutella plus more as desired
  • vegetable oil or melted butter for greasing the pan
  • fresh fruit for garnish (mango, banana, berries, etc.)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the milk, water, and flour until smooth and lump-free.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the melted and cooled butter, then pour this mixture into the milk–flour mixture and whisk until smooth; alternatively, combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • Let the batter rest at room temperature for 15 minutes; it should have the consistency of heavy cream.
  • Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush or wipe with vegetable oil or melted butter.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan and immediately swirl to coat the bottom in a thin, even layer (about 10 inches diameter and 1/16-inch thick).
  • Cook until the underside is lightly browned, about 2–3 minutes, loosen the edges with a thin spatula, flip, and cook the second side until light golden spots appear, about 30–60 seconds more.
  • Stack finished crepes on a plate and repeat with remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed.
  • Spread 1–2 tablespoons Nutella on each crepe, add fresh fruit as desired, and fold in half or into quarters to serve.

Equipment

  • 10-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • blender (optional)
  • brush or paper towel for greasing

Notes

  • Batter may be blended for a smoother texture.
  • Letting the batter rest improves texture.
  • Use a thin spatula to flip delicate crepes.
  • Grease the pan lightly between batches to prevent sticking.
