Gather Your Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour: the base for tender crepes choose fresh, finely milled flour for smooth batter
• 2 large eggs: adds structure and richness room temperature helps batter blend better
• ½ cup whole milk: provides moisture and creaminess whole milk creates softer crepes than skim
• ½ cup water: lightens the batter to keep crepes delicate and thin
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted: adds richness and prevents sticking use unsalted for controlled seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt: balances the sweetness and enhances flavor
• 1 cup berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries): fresh, ripe berries bring natural tartness and color
• 1 cup Nutella: the star ingredient for creamy chocolate hazelnut flavor
• ½ tablespoon confectioners’ sugar: adds a delicate dust of sweetness on top and a pretty finish

How to Make It

Sift and whisk dry ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt to make sure everything is even and lump-free

Add eggs and liquids:

Crack in the eggs followed by the whole milk, water, and melted butter. Stir gently until the mixture is just combined but don’t overmix at this stage

Blend for smoothness:

Pour the batter into a blender and blend for 60 seconds until it is completely smooth. This step ensures a perfectly thin and lump-free crepe batter

Heat and grease the pan:

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush or wipe the pan with butter to prevent sticking and help crepes cook evenly

Pour and spread batter:

Scoop ¼ cup of the batter onto the pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan gently in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly across the surface

Cook the first side:

Let the crepe cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges lift slightly and the underside turns a light golden brown

Flip and cook the other side:

Use a spatula to carefully loosen the crepe, flip it over, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden on this side as well

Cool and repeat:

Slide the finished crepe onto a plate. Repeat the pouring, spreading, and cooking steps with the remaining batter while stacking crepes gently to keep warm

Fill and fold crepes:

Spread berries on one half of each crepe and drizzle Nutella generously over the fruit. Fold each crepe into quarters for a neat presentation

Finish with toppings:

Drizzle any extra Nutella on top and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest taste

I love how the berries add a burst of color and bright flavor on each bite, cutting through the richness of Nutella perfectly. This recipe has brought many weekends of laughter and warmth when shared with family around the breakfast table.
