Directions:
1️⃣ Make the Crepe Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.
2️⃣ Cook the Crepes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly across the bottom.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges of the crepe begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the crepe from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
3️⃣ Fill the Crepes:
Once all the crepes are cooked, spread a generous amount of Nutella in the center of each crepe.
4️⃣ Fold or Roll the Crepes:
Fold the crepes into quarters or roll them up, depending on your preference. If desired, top with whipped cream and fresh berries.
5️⃣ Serve and Garnish:
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Pro Tips for Perfect Nutella-Filled Crepes:
- Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to rest ensures smoother crepes by letting the flour fully absorb the liquid.
- Get the Right Heat: Cooking the crepes over medium heat prevents them from becoming too crispy or undercooked.
- Spread Nutella Evenly: For an even distribution of Nutella, heat it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to spread.

Nutritional Benefits of Nutella-Filled Crepes:

Common Problems and Fixes:
- Crepes Sticking to the Pan? Be sure to lightly grease the pan before cooking each crepe, and make sure the pan is hot before pouring in the batter.
- Crepes Too Thick? If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out to the desired consistency.
- Crepes Not Flipping Well? Let the crepe cook a bit longer on the first side before flipping, as it will firm up and become easier to flip.
FAQ About Nutella-Filled Crepes:
- Can I use a different filling? Absolutely! Feel free to substitute Nutella with chocolate spread, peanut butter, or even fruit preserves for a different flavor.
- Can I make these in advance? Crepes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
