Deliciously fluffy French crêpes filled with creamy Nutella, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. Perfect for a cozy brunch or sweet dessert that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt to keep the batter smooth and lump-free.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until combined. Add the milk, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then whisk well to blend.
  3. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is thin and pourable like heavy cream. Add more water or milk if too thick.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, ideally 1 hour.
  5. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush with melted butter.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling to spread a thin, even layer.
  7. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until edges lift and the bottom is golden but not dark brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  8. Remove the crêpe to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat for 8-10 crêpes, about 15-20 minutes total.
  9. Spread a thin layer of Nutella on each warm crêpe, add sliced strawberries, and dollop with whipped cream. Fold or roll as desired and serve warm.

Notes

Resting the batter for at least 20 minutes is key to fluffy crêpes. Use a thin flexible spatula for flipping to avoid tearing. Keep cooked crêpes warm by covering loosely with foil or stacking in a low oven. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute flour and milk accordingly.
