These crispy love letter crepes feature golden, flaky edges and a luscious Nutella filling, perfect for cozy breakfasts or special occasions. Simple ingredients and a unique folding technique create a delightful texture and rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (150g) Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • Optional: sliced strawberries or bananas for extra freshness
  • Additional melted butter or oil for the pan

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 1/4 cups whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. The batter should be thin and pourable.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the center of the pan and quickly tilt and swirl to spread evenly into a thin circle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until edges are crisp and golden and the top is set but moist.
  7. Using a thin spatula, gently flip the crepe and cook the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly golden. Remove to a plate.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with butter as needed.
  9. Spread about 1 tablespoon Nutella over each warm crepe. Fold into quarters or roll like a love letter. Optionally add fresh fruit slices.
  10. Serve warm with optional powdered sugar or honey drizzle.

Notes

Resting the batter for at least 15 minutes is key for tender, crispy crepes. Use medium heat to avoid burning and ensure crisp edges. Brush pan lightly with butter between crepes to enhance flavor and crispiness. Store crepes and Nutella separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
