Ingredients 

For the Crepes

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup of whole milk
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 180 g
  • 3 tablespoons of butter 42 g

For the Filling

  • 4 bananas sliced thinly
  • 14 tablespoons of Nutella 2 tbsp per crepe plus extra for drizzle
  • Powdered sugar for decoration

Special Equipment Needed

  • Crepe pan with a wooden spatula and spreader
  • Plastic pastry bag
  • Sifter

Instructions

  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, water, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Sift the flour over the batter and whisk continuously. You are trying to prevent large clumps of flour - you want a smooth batter.
  • Melt the butter and slowly whisk into the batter.
  • Place plastic wrap on the batter so that it touches. This will prevent the batter from forming a skin and creating clumps in your batter. Let the batter rest in the fridge for at least one hour.
  • Prepare your crepe station with vegetable oil spray, 8 pieces of parchment paper, 1/4 cup measuring spoon, a crepe pan, wooden spatula and spreader. Then turn your heat on medium.
  • When you are ready to make the crepes, remove the batter from the fridge and wring out any batter left from the plastic wrap. Whisk the batter to "refresh it".
  • Spray the crepe pan with vegetable oil, then ladle 1/4 cup of the batter and pour in the middle of the pan. Quickly use your wooden spreader and rotate it clockwise to create a smooth circle covering the entire pan.
  • Let the crepe cook on the pan for 1-2 minutes then flip it over using the spatula. Cook for a remaining 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove the crepe from the pan and place on a plate. Repeat this process 6 more times or until you run out of batter. Tip: make sure you place a piece of parchment in between each crepe as you cook them to prevent them from getting too soggy. If you stack the crepes on top of each other, they can get soggy.
  • To assemble your sweet crepes with banana and Nutella filling: spread 2 tablespoons or less of Nutella on the entire crepe. Then add thinly sliced bananas on one side of the crepe. Tip: do not add too much filling or thick bananas inside your crepe or it will be difficult to fold into triangles.
  • To make triangle crepes: fold the crepe in half (hotdog style), then in half again (hamburger style).
  • Optional decoration: place some Nutella inside a pastry bag and microwave for 15-30 seconds. Cut a small hole and drizzle the Nutella over the crepes. Then dust powder sugar with a sifter and enjoy!

Notes

You want to use bananas when they are bright yellow with just a few spots of brown because they are slightly sweeter.
