Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s dive into the fun part—making these chocolate-filled rolled crêpes!

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps; a blender can also help achieve a silky texture.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Cook the Crêpes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for an additional minute. Repeat until all batter is used.

Step 4: Fill and Roll

Spread a generous tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread on each crêpe. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down on a plate.

Step 5: Serve with Love

Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm. Enjoy the smiles on your loved ones’ faces as they dig into these decadent delights!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Here are some common pitfalls to watch out for while making crêpes:

• Overmixing the batter can lead to tough crêpes. Mix just until combined!
• Not heating the pan enough will result in sticking. Make sure it’s hot before pouring the batter.
• Using too much batter will yield thick crêpes. Stick to ¼ cup for the perfect thickness.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), here’s how to store them:

• Place crêpes in an airtight container, separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
