Nutella Crepes are a delicious treat using everyone's favorite chocolate hazelnut spread. These homemade Nutella crepes are easy to make and perfect with fresh fruit.
In a blender or food processor, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Cover and blend until the mixture is smooth and there are no visible lumps.
Let the crepe batter rest for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature. This resting time allows the gluten to relax and results in softer crepes. Pour the batter into a large bowl.
Heat a non-stick crepe pan or a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan and swirl it around to coat the surface.
Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of the crepe batter (about ¼ cup for an 8-inch pan) into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly, covering the entire surface of the pan.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to turn golden and lift slightly from the pan. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula or by gently lifting the edges with your fingers. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm while you make the rest of the crepes. Once all the crepes are ready, spread half of a crepe with about a tablespoon of Nutella. Fold into quarters or roll them up. Serve with powdered sugar on top.
Notes
Crepe pan: you definitely don't need any special equipment for making crepes except for a nonstick skillet. I like to keep my crepes around 8-inches in diameter and prefer to use a medium-sized non-stick frying pan.
Storage: leftover Nutella crepes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Place a paper towel under the crepes to absorb any moisture. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Sweet batter: when making sweet crepes, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter as well as any other flavors such as extracts or liqueurs.
