Ingredients
Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (more may be necessary, add 2 tablespoons at a time if too thick)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (divide into 1 tablespoon for batter and 1 tablespoon for cooking)
Filling & Topping
- ¾ cup Nutella (plus 2 tablespoons for drizzling)
- 1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Batter: Place a long sheet of wax paper or parchment near the stove to cool cooked crepes. In a blender, combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, flour, sugar, salt, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Blend until smooth, scraping sides to incorporate flour. Cover and let batter rest for at least 30 minutes to improve texture.
- Heat Pan and Cook Crepes: Warm an 8-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter. Pour a scant ¼ cup of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling to cover the bottom evenly.
- Cook First Side: Cook the crepe for about 1 minute until edges start to brown. Use a rounded-edge spatula to loosen edges carefully.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Gently flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and cooked through. Transfer to wax paper to cool as you cook remaining crepes.
- Assemble Crepes: Place one crepe on a plate, spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella on the bottom half, add sliced strawberries, then fold the crepe top over the strawberries and fold in half again.
- Prepare Nutella Drizzle: Warm 2 tablespoons Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-15 seconds until soft. Pour into a sandwich bag, cut a small tip from one corner, and drizzle over the folded crepes.
- Serve: Dust crepes with powdered sugar and serve immediately with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
Notes
- Do not make the batter too thin; add milk gradually if needed.
- Resting the batter is crucial for tender crepes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan for easy flipping.
- Brush pan lightly with melted butter before each crepe.
- Adjust Nutella amount to taste for filling and drizzling.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
