Nutella-Stuffed Crêpes Recipe:

You’ll Need

2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch sea salt
Butter for melting
Filling: 1 jar Nutella or other chocolate spread

Prep and Cook

1

In a large bowl, whisk eggs
Then whisk in flour, sugar, milk, water, vanilla, and salt, until no lumps remain
Batter should be fairly thin and fluid (not thick like traditional pancake batter)
2

Heat a large flat pan over medium heat
Melt a knob of butter and then lift the pan off the burner
Pour in just enough crêpe batter to cover the bottom (approximately 1/2 cup depending on the size of your pan)
Immediately swirl the pan to distribute the crêpe batter evenly across the bottom of the pan
3

Cook the crêpe for approximately 30 seconds on the first side
Run a heatproof spatula around the edge of the crêpe, and then slowly slide the spatula down the center of the crêpe and carefully flip it over
Cook crêpe on the second side for another 30 seconds or so
Slide the cooked crêpe onto a heatproof plate (you can pile them on top of each other)
Let them cool a bit while you repeat the process and make more crêpes
4

To fill, lie a crêpe on a clean flat work surface and spread half generously with Nutella. Fold over into a triangle
Repeat with remaining crêpes and enjoy!
