Nutella Crepes with Strawberries

Ingredients:

For the Crepes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

For Serving:

  • Powdered sugar (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and ensures tender crepes.

2. Cook the Crepes:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
  • Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden brown.
  • Flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
  • Remove the cooked crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with a piece of parchment paper between each to prevent sticking.

3. Assemble the Crepes:

  • Spread a generous tablespoon of Nutella onto one half of each crepe.
  • Arrange a few slices of fresh strawberries over the Nutella.
  • Fold the crepe in half, then fold it in half again to form a triangle.

4. Serve:

  • Dust the folded crepes with powdered sugar, if desired.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and additional fresh strawberries on the side.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and flavor.
