@seattlehanddoc Nutella Swirl Crêpes (best hack ever!) Ingredients: • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 1 cup milk • ½ cup water • 4 eggs • 4 tbsp melted butter (+ extra for pan) • 4 tbsp sugar • Nutella Instructions: 1. In a bowl, whisk eggs. Add milk + water and mix well. Gradually whisk in flour + sugar until smooth, then stir in melted butter until fully combined. (Optional: rest 15–30 min.) 2. Hack: remove foil from Nutella jar rim. Microwave jar ~10 sec to soften. Pour some batter into jar, close and shake really well. Open, scrape sides, and mix until fully smooth (1–2 min). Now you have Nutella batter. 3. Heat a lightly buttered nonstick pan on LOW. 4. Pour Nutella batter in a swirl pattern. Let it set slightly so it holds shape, then add plain batter over/around it to complete the crêpe. 5. Cook until set, flip, and cook 30–60 sec more. Tips: keep heat low, don’t rush the swirl setting, first crêpe is a test. Optional toppings: fruit, powdered sugar, extra Nutella. @lecreuset @surlatable #crepes #hacks #breakfastideas #quickrecipes #nutella @nutella @zwilling_usa

Empty Nutella jar crepe hackfrom @seattlehanddoc

[01]

Overview

The creator demonstrates a clever food hack by using an almost-empty Nutella jar to make two-toned swirl crepes. She mixes a basic crepe batter in a bowl, pours a portion of it directly into the scraped-out Nutella jar to create a chocolate batter, and then uses both batters to pour a mesmerizing swirl pattern onto a hot pan, finishing by folding the cooked crepe with a cream filling and taking a bite.
