Ingredients and Preparation
Before you start cooking, ensure you have all the ingredients ready. This recipe serves 4-6 people and takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook.
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) milk
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (128g) Nutella
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Fresh berries and whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Making the Crepe Batter
In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and prevent lumps.
After resting, give the batter a quick stir and adjust the consistency if needed. The batter should be thin enough to coat the pan evenly. If it's too thick, add a bit more milk; if it's too thin, add a bit more flour.
Cooking the Crepes
Heat an 8-inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a bit of butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, quickly swirling and tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift from the pan and the surface is no longer shiny. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan as needed. You should have about 12-14 crepes. Stack them on the plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you prepare the Nutella filling.
Assembling the Nutella Crepe Rolls
Once you have all your crepes cooked and ready, it's time to spread the Nutella and roll them up. This step is best done on a flat surface, like a large cutting board or clean countertop.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly over each crepe, leaving a small border around the edges. Tightly roll up each crepe, starting from the short side. Place the rolled crepes seam-side down on a serving platter.
Serving the Nutella Crepe Rolls
Dust the crepe rolls generously with powdered sugar just before serving. You can also garnish them with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance. Serve the crepe rolls warm or at room temperature, and enjoy every delicious bite!
These Nutella Crepe Rolls are not only incredibly tasty but also visually appealing. They're perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to a special breakfast or dessert.
