Method

  1. 1

    Whisk. Whisk the 118 ml milk, 1 egg, 1 tbsp sugar, 14 g melted butter, ½ tsp vanilla and a pinch of salt vigorously in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Sift. Sift in the 42 g flour and 1 tbsp cocoa and whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Rest. Rest the batter at room temperature for at least 15 min, or overnight in the fridge.

  4. 4

    Cook. Heat a small frying pan over medium heat, melt a knob of butter and spread it round, then pour in about 3 tbsp batter and swirl quickly to coat the base.

  5. 5

    Flip. Cook undisturbed until the edges look dry, 60-90 s, then flip with a thin spatula and cook for 30-60 s more until cooked through.

  6. 6

    Fill. Spread a teaspoon of chocolate-hazelnut spread over one quarter of each crêpe and fold in half then into quarters, or roll it up tightly.

  7. 7

    Serve. Top with whipped cream, berries or icing sugar if you like and serve at once.

Storage

Best eaten fresh and warm, straight from the pan. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
