I cooked these Nutella crêpe rolls for my family on a lazy Sunday morning last weekend, and to be honest, I wasn’t prepared for them to go so fast. After weeks of my cousin’s insistence that I try handmade crêpes at least once, I gave in. Before breakfast was even done, everyone began congregating around the kitchen as soon as the first warm crêpe, soft and buttery with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon, came off the pan.
Making crêpes has a reassuring quality. This recipe makes you take your time, in contrast to hurried weekday breakfasts. I normally make these when I’m feeling anxious or emotionally spent because it somehow calms me to stand by the stove and swirl the batter into thin golden rings. Additionally, while I’m.
