Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour a thin layer of batter, swirling to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, then flip.
- Once crepes are cooked, spread chocolate hazelnut spread on one half. Fold the other half over and serve warm, garnished with powdered sugar or nuts if desired.
Things I’ve Learned
Make sure the batter is not too thick; a thin layer creates better crepes. Use a non-stick pan for easy flipping. Crepes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave when ready to serve. Feel free to experiment with fillings like fruits or whipped cream as well!
