Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet crepe)
- 4 medium bananas, sliced
- 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs until smooth.
- Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine.
- Add the melted butter, salt, and sugar (if using), and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the pan and quickly swirl it to spread evenly into a thin layer.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
- Spread a thin layer of chocolate hazelnut spread over each crepe.
- Arrange banana slices over the chocolate spread.
- Fold the crepe into quarters or roll it up, depending on your preference.
- Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
- Place the filled crepes on serving plates.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
