Why are my crepes gummy?

The first trick is to work quickly. The pan is hot so the batter will cook quickly. If you take a long time to spread the batter, you will end up with a crepe with rings (almost like the inside of a tree) or a thick crepe, which will likely not cook evenly and will be gummy on the inside.

I've been eating Nutella crepes for over 20 years

Nutella crêpes made such an impression on me the first time I ate one. The 20 year old memory floods me every time I eat a Nutella crêpe.

Back in high school I went to visit my brother in college and he took me to a crêpe food truck. This was before food trucks were even popular and I was a bit skeptical eating in a dodgy parking lot.

But the smells of the sweet Nutella crêpes filled the air, and before I knew it, I had scarfed down my first ever Nutella crêpe. Then I unashamedly licked all my fingers. And that was the beginning of this twenty year journey I've been on with Nutella crêpes.

Since then, Nutella lurks in my kitchen cabinets ready to be slathered on crêpes.

How to make the best Nutella crepes

The good news for all Nutella lovers is that Nutella crêpes are fairly simple to make at home. I always start with my Easy Basic Crêpe recipe, and add some vanilla and sugar into the crêpe batter.

Then, once the crepes are done and ready to serve, I slather on Nutella, top on strawberries or bananas, dollop on whipped cream and give a big dusting of powdered sugar.

Making easy crêpes

I won't go into all the details to making a perfect crêpe in this post because everything is written in easy-to-follow detail in my Easy Basic Crepe recipe.

If you want to make the perfect Nutella Crêpes, I highly recommend popping to my Easy Basic Crepe post and giving it a read through.

Here I'll give you a quick rundown, with some important tips.

To make crêpes, I use my blender. Blitz all the ingredients together, then cook the crepes individually.
Preheat preheat preheat. Make sure your crêpe pan is evenly nice and hot before you start pouring on the crêpe batter.
Butter butter butter. For the perfect crepes, I alwaysuse a silicone brush to spread melted butter evenly on the surface of the pan before adding the batter.
Spread the batter evenly. After adding the crêpe batter, to smooth out the batter quickly and evenly, a crepe spreader is a must.

Nutella alternatives do exist!

Truth be told, I love Nutella very much, but sometimes I do feel a bit guilty about having it at breakfast because of the high sugar content.

That being said, there are a lot of different chocolate and hazelnut spreads that exist now. I haven't found one that is exactly the same as Nutella, but there are several on the market that are delicious!

This is the best Nutella crêpes recipe, and it's easy to make. Nutella crêpes makes a very special treat topped with strawberries or bananas!

Ingredients

For the crepes

4 large eggs
1 ¾ - 2 ¼ cups whole milk
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon quality vanilla extract
¼ - ½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsalted butter - melted, plus more for brushing on the pan

For the toppings

2 teaspoons nutella (per crepe)
fresh whipped cream
fresh strawberries - sliced
bananas - sliced
powdered sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Using a blender or immersion blender, whiz together the 4 eggs, 1 ¾ cups of whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until everything has blended, about 10 seconds. Add in the flour and whiz until the batter is smooth, about 20 seconds. Pour in the unsalted butter and whiz until combined, about 10 seconds.
Transfer the batter into a large bowl, with an opening sized so that you can easily use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop up the batter. Allow the batter to sit for at least 5 minutes, but up to 24 hours. If resting the batter longer than 30 minutes, cover and transfer it to the refrigerator.
When you are ready to make the crepes, remove the batter from the refrigerator and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes. Check the consistency of the batter. It should be the consistency of heavy cream. If the batter feels too thick, whisk in additional milk by the tablespoon, up to ½ cup more.
Preheat a 10 or 12-inch skillet or crepe pan on medium to medium-high heat (I fluctuate between 6/9 and 7/9 on my stove setting). In a small bowl, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter. When the pan is hot, using a small silicone brush, brush on a thin layer of butter. Alternatively, melt and swirl the butter around the pan.
Scoop on ¼ of the crepe batter in the center of the pan. Quickly, using a crepe spreader, evenly spread the batter in a circular motion until the crepe is thin and the batter has reached the edge of the pan. You can also quickly swirl the pan around so the crepe batter spreads into a thin layer, but I don't always have success getting perfectly round crepes this way.
Cook the crepe until the edges begin to dry and lift from the sides of the pan, and the bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute. Gently flip the crepe over using a spatula and smooth out any folds. Cook for an additional 20-30 seconds. Slide the crepe off the pan onto a plate to serve, or to a cooling rack if you are making more. You can stack on the crepes as they finish cooking.
Repeat with remaining crepes, brushing butter on the pan each time before you pour on the crepe batter.

Serving the crepes

Spread the nutella on the crepes. I use about 2 teaspoon per crepe, otherwise I find it too sweet. Feel free to use more or less as you prefer. I usually do two different folding methods.
First method: Fold the crepe in half, and then in half again,so you get a triangle.
Second method: Fold the crepe into thirds, but so that it forms a triangle.
Top with powdered sugar, fresh whipped cream, strawberries and/or bananas.

Notes

This recipe is adapted from my Basic French Crepes. Find lots of tips in that post on how to make the perfect crepes.

The amount of milk varies because of the exact size of your egg and the exact amount of flour you use.

To store: If you plan to store the crepes, you can refrigerate them in as a stack and slowly peel off each crepe as you want to eat it. You can also freeze them with a layer of parchment paper in between, so they do not stick together frozen. Gently heat the crepes on a pan before serving.

Crepes are delicious! But I don't think I can make them like the French can.
