Gather Your Ingredients

• One cup all-purpose flour: provides the structure for tender yet flexible crepes Choose a fine, unbleached variety for best results
• Two large eggs: add richness and help bind the batter together for a smooth texture
• Half cup whole milk: contributes creaminess while half cup water keeps the batter light
• Two tablespoons butter melted: into the batter enhances flavor and prevents sticking in the pan Use unsalted butter so you can control the saltiness
• Half teaspoon salt: balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor
• One cup mixed berries: such as strawberries blueberries and raspberries bring a fresh fruity contrast Pick ripe and vibrant berries for the best taste and appearance
• One cup Nutella: adds a luscious hazelnut chocolate layer that makes these crepes irresistible
• Half tablespoon confectioners sugar for a dusting: adds a pretty finishing touch and a subtle sweet note

How to Make It

Sift and Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour and eggs thoroughly. Gradually add in the milk water melted butter and salt stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the crepes tender.

Blend the Batter Until Silky:

Pour the mixture into a blender and blend on high for one full minute. This step creates a smooth thin batter perfect for delicate crepes without lumps.

Prepare the Cooking Surface:

Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with a small amount of butter or oil and heat over medium heat. The pan should be hot but not smoking to avoid browning too quickly.

Cook the Crepes:

Scoop about a quarter cup of batter onto the skillet. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan so the batter spreads evenly and thinly across the bottom. Cook for about two minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns light golden. Use a spatula to carefully loosen the edges and then flip the crepe to cook the other side for another one to two minutes.

Repeat for Remaining Batter:

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and continue cooking the rest of the batter the same way. Stack the crepes loosely to prevent sticking.

Assemble the Crepes:

Spread a generous layer of fresh berries on one half of each crepe. Drizzle with Nutella on top of the berries then fold the crepe into quarters. Add more Nutella drizzled on top and finish with a sprinkle of confectioners sugar. Serve immediately while the crepes are still warm.

My favorite part is the fresh berries which really brighten the richness of Nutella and keep the crepes from being too heavy. One Sunday morning my kids helped assemble these and their smiles while biting into warm sweet crepes is a memory I love revisiting every time I make the recipe.

Flavor Boosters

Serve crepes with a side of whipped cream or vanilla yogurt to add creaminess. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can complement the berries nicely if you want extra sweetness. Lightly toasted nuts sprinkled on top add a nice crunch and contrast to the soft crepes.

Serving Suggestions

Swap berries for sliced bananas or peaches in summer for variety. In cooler months try diced apples sautéed with cinnamon for a cozy twist. Lemon zest in the batter adds a refreshing note perfect for springtime breakfasts.
