Crepes are just like classic pancakes, only thinner. The best part about that is you can eat more than you would with traditional pancakes! That’s a good thing, since they’re so delicious. Crepes can be made with sweet or salty filling, and almost anything goes well with them. Nutella, mascarpone, and strawberries were used in this recipe that is sure to become a family favorite!

Ingredients

Crepes

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 12 cubes

Filling

• 1 cup strawberries (chopped)

Instructions

1. For the crepes, combine eggs, milk, flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
2. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Melt 1 cube of butter in the pan and add 1/4 cup of batter. Quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating of batter. Cook until set, about one minute. Carefully flip the crepe over. Cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter and butter.
3. Spread each crepe with 3 tbsp of mascarpone and top with chopped strawberries.
4. Fold the two opposite ends of the crepe inward and roll into a tube. Repeat with all the crepes and mascarpone and strawberries. Arrange the crepes on a large plate or platter.
