Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (whole, 2%, or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup club soda or sparkling water (optional, for extra fluffiness)
  • 1 cup Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Fresh mint leaves, torn or chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Gradually pour in milk while whisking until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract.
  4. If using, gently fold in club soda for extra fluffiness. Batter should be smooth and runny; add more milk if too thick.
  5. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
  6. While batter rests, hull and slice strawberries. Tear or chop mint leaves. Warm Nutella gently in a small saucepan if desired.
  7. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and brush lightly with butter or oil.
  8. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan, tilting and swirling to coat in a thin layer.
  9. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden; flip and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  10. Transfer crepe to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan with butter as needed.
  11. Spread a generous tablespoon of Nutella onto each crepe, add sliced strawberries, and fold into quarters or roll up.
  12. Arrange crepes on a serving platter, dust with powdered sugar, and sprinkle with mint leaves.
  13. Serve warm. For make-ahead, keep crepes wrapped in foil and reheat gently in a low oven (300°F) for 5-10 minutes. Serve with extra strawberries and mint.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes for tender crepes. Use medium heat for best results. Swirl the pan immediately after pouring batter for even thickness. Brush pan lightly with butter every couple crepes. If batter thickens as it sits, whisk in a tablespoon of milk. For gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 GF flour blend. Dairy-free milk and vegan butter work well. Don’t overfill crepes to avoid splitting.
