💗 Why This Recipe Works
I used to think perfect crêpes required chef skills - until I cracked this 3-secret formula:
- Quick Nutella alternative that hardens like a professional pastry filling. Plus, they’re a great way to impress family and friends with a simple yet tasty dish.
- Blender batter (no lumps, no stress)
- Sparkling water trick for lace-thin edges
Final Tip: Serve with extra ganache for dipping - because why should fondue have all the fun? 🍫
🥧 Ingredients
*See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Flour: Use all-purpose flour for best results, as it creates light and tender crêpes. Sift it to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Eggs: Opt for large, fresh eggs, which help bind the ingredients.
- Melted Butter: Choose unsalted butter, as it allows you to control the salt in the recipe. A high-quality brand gives a richer taste.
- Cold Milk: Use whole milk for a creamier texture, but you can substitute with 2% if you prefer.
- Mineral Water: Look for sparkling mineral water with fine bubbles, which helps create airy, delicate crêpes.
- Optional Flavors (Vanilla, Orange, or Lemon Peel): Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavour, or fresh orange/lemon zest for a bright, natural aroma.
- Oil for Frying: A neutral oil like vegetable oil or canola oil works well, as it won’t overpower the flavour of the crêpes. You can also use butter for frying for a richer taste.
- Need the ganache recipe? Use our 3-Ingredient Chocolate Ganache. And if you love fruit fillings? Try our 4-Ingredient Berry Sauce next!
♻️ Substitutions
- Flour:
- Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
- Whole wheat: Substitute with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavour and added fibre.
- Eggs:
- Vegan: Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) or a commercial egg replacer.
- Milk:
- Dairy-free: Swap with almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or any other plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Low-fat: Use skim or low-fat milk if you prefer a lighter batter.
- Butter:
- Vegan: Replace with plant-based butter or coconut oil.
- Healthier option: Use a light margarine or olive oil.
- Mineral Water:
- Plain water: If you don't have mineral water, plain water works fine but will make the crêpes slightly less airy.
- Milk only: You can omit the water and use all milk for a richer batter.
- Vanilla/Orange/Lemon Peel: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or almond extract. Swap out for lime zest or even a touch of lavender for a floral note.
📋 Variations
- Chocolate Crêpes: Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the crêpe batter before cooking. Serve the chocolate crêpes with fresh berries, whipped cream, or Nutella.
- Lemon Crêpes: Add the zest of 1 lemon to the crêpe batter. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into a saucepan, add sugar to taste, and heat until the sugar dissolves. Drizzle the lemon syrup over the crêpes before serving.
- Savoury Herb Crêpes: Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or dill) to the crêpe batter. Fill the savoury crêpes with ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, cheese, or cooked chicken.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Crêpes: Mix ¼ cup of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the crêpes while they are still warm.
- Matcha Green Tea Crêpes: Add 1 tablespoon of matcha green tea powder to the crêpe batter. Serve the matcha crêpes with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.
- Fruit-Filled Crêpes: Fill the crêpes with a variety of fresh fruits such as strawberries, bananas, blueberries, or raspberries. Top the fruit-filled crêpes with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
❓FAQs
Use any non-stick skillet
• Cast iron? Preheat 5 mins medium-low
• Stainless steel? Add ½ teaspoon oil between batches
• Electric griddle? Set to 325°F (163°C)
Don’t panic! The "test crêpe" is your heat adjuster. If it sticks, your pan needs:
• 1 more minute to preheat
• A thinner butter coat (use a paper towel to wipe excess)
• Slightly lower temperature
Store covered in the fridge for 24 hours. Tip: Whisk in 1 tablespoon milk before cooking as it thickens when chilled.
- Sparkling water in batter (creates bubbles)
- Swift swirling immediately after pouring
- Medium-low heat (not too hot!)
Keep them in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap—they’re good in the fridge for 3–4 days. Want to freeze them? Wrap each one in plastic wrap, pop them in a freezer-safe container, and add parchment between layers so they don’t stick. They’ll keep frozen for 2–3 months—just thaw in the fridge before digging in!

Thanks for sharing this recipe I was looking for one crepe recipe for this Valentine, this turned out to be perfect.

I loved the quick and easy nutella ganache on the crepes! I mean, nutella is my alltime favourite pancake topping anyway, but butter and cream made it even better. I used oatly cream to lower the lactose content and it came out perfect.
