Nutella Stuffed Crepes - detail 1

Ingredients for Nutella Stuffed Crepes

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Nutella for filling (as much as your heart desires!)

How to Prepare Nutella Stuffed Crepes

Mixing the Batter

Let’s get started on these delicious Nutella stuffed crepes! First, grab a large bowl and mix together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. I like to use a whisk for this—it’s super satisfying to see the batter come together. Just keep whisking until it’s smooth and free of lumps. If it feels a bit thick, don’t hesitate to add a splash more milk until you get that perfect, pourable consistency. It should be just a bit thinner than pancake batter!

Cooking the Crepes

Now that your batter is ready, it’s time to heat things up! Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat—this is key for getting that lovely golden color on your crepes. Once it’s hot, pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Here’s the fun part: flip it over and cook for another minute on the other side. You’ll want to keep an eye on them—crepes cook quickly!

Filling and Serving

Once your crepes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Now for the best part—spread a generous layer of Nutella on one half of each crepe. You can use a knife or even the back of a spoon for this. Then, fold the crepe over the Nutella, and voilà! You can serve them as they are, or get fancy by dusting with powdered sugar or adding fresh fruits on the side. Trust me, they look as good as they taste!

Tips for Success

Alright, let’s make sure your Nutella stuffed crepes turn out absolutely perfect! Here are some of my top tips to ensure you nail it every time:

  • Consistency is Key: Aim for that perfect batter consistency! It should be pourable but not too runny—think slightly thicker than heavy cream. If it feels too thick, just add a splash of milk and whisk again.
  • Let it Rest: If you have time, let your batter rest for about 30 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the liquid and makes for a smoother crepe.
  • Preheat Your Skillet: Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature before pouring in the batter. Too hot, and you’ll burn the crepes; too cool, and they won’t cook properly. A medium heat is usually just right!
  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: Trust me, a good non-stick skillet makes all the difference! It helps prevent sticking and makes flipping a breeze.
  • Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t worry if your first crepe doesn’t come out perfectly. The first one is often a test run, and you can always enjoy it anyway! Just keep practicing, and you’ll get the hang of it.
  • Keep Them Warm: If you’re making multiple crepes, stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the rest.

Follow these tips, and you’ll be a crepe-making pro in no time! Enjoy the process and, of course, those delicious Nutella-filled bites!

Storage & Reheating Instructions

So, you’ve whipped up a delicious batch of Nutella stuffed crepes, and now you’re wondering how to store the leftovers—if there are any! First off, let me tell you, these crepes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have extras, don’t worry; they can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days.

To store your crepes, simply stack them with a piece of parchment paper in between each one to prevent sticking, and place them in an airtight container. This way, they’ll keep their lovely texture without getting soggy. You can keep them in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Just make sure they’re completely cooled before sealing the container shut!

When it comes to reheating, you have a couple of options. If you prefer that freshly cooked taste, just heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and gently warm each crepe for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re nice and warm. Or, if you’re in a hurry, you can pop them in the microwave! Just place a crepe on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a damp paper towel (this helps keep it from drying out), and heat for about 15-20 seconds. You’ll have a warm, gooey Nutella delight in no time!

Enjoy those leftover crepes, and don’t forget to spread a little extra Nutella on top when you reheat them—because why not indulge a bit more?
