Ingredients
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling and Topping:
- 1 cup Nutella (or more to taste)
- 1/2 cup crushed hazelnuts
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Chocolate sauce, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Crepe Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined. The batter should be thin and free of lumps.
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps the crepes turn out tender and light.
Cook the Crepes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
- Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on top of each other.
Assemble the Nutella Crepes
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella over each crepe.
- Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle.
- Arrange the crepes on a serving plate and drizzle with additional Nutella or chocolate sauce if desired.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle the crepes with crushed hazelnuts and dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delicious Nutella Crepes with Crushed Hazelnuts!
Notes
- If you prefer a thinner layer of Nutella, warm it slightly to make it easier to spread.
- These crepes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Simply reheat them in the microwave or a skillet before serving.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
