Light, airy crepes filled with fresh strawberries and creamy Nutella, perfect for a quick and indulgent breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + extra for cooking
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (thawed if refrigerated)
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center.
  2. Crack 3 large eggs into the well, then gradually pour in 1 1/4 cups (300ml) of whole milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined. The batter should be thin and pourable, like heavy cream. Add a splash more milk if too thick.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to relax the gluten and achieve fluffy crepes with tender edges.
  5. While the batter rests, wash and slice 1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries and set aside.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Brush lightly with melted butter just before cooking each crepe to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin, round layer. Cook for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown.
  8. Using a thin spatula, flip the crepe and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly golden and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked crepes to a plate and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel. Continue with remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.
  10. Spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy Nutella on each crepe while still warm, add a handful of sliced strawberries, then fold or roll up the crepe.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar or add whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Resting the batter in the fridge for at least 30 minutes is key to achieving fluffy crepes. Use medium heat to avoid burning and brush the pan lightly with butter before each crepe to prevent sticking. If crepes tear, lower the heat and add more butter. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Dairy-free substitutions include plant-based milk and vegan spreads.
