Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 bananas
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup nutella
Liquid/Binding Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
Garnish/Topping Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup whipped cream
- 2 tbsp chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Whisk flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and water in a large mixing bowl until smooth and free of lumps, creating a silky crepe batter.
- Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, enabling the flour to absorb liquid and proteins to relax.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the entire pan surface evenly.
- Cook crepe for 1-2 minutes until edges turn golden and surface appears dry, then carefully flip and cook opposite side for additional 30-45 seconds.
- Repeat crepe-making process until all batter is utilized, stacking finished crepes on a plate.
- Spread a generous layer of nutella across each warm crepe.
- Slice bananas into thin, uniform rounds and distribute evenly over nutella-covered crepes.
- Chop strawberries into bite-sized pieces and scatter across banana layer.
- Gently fold crepes into elegant triangles or roll into compact cylinders.
- Dust crepes with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sifter.
- Crown each crepe with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
- Serve immediately while crepes remain warm and toppings are fresh.
Notes
- Resting the batter is crucial for achieving tender, thin crepes with a smooth texture and preventing tough, chewy results.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and prevent lumpy batter that can create uneven crepe surfaces.
- Non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet works best for creating perfectly golden, thin crepes without sticking.
- Experiment with alternative spreads like almond butter or dairy-free chocolate for vegan or nut-free variations of this delightful dessert.
