Raspberry and Nutella Crepes

"Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first"- Ernestine Ulmer

They say that true love lasts a lifetime... I have no idea if that's actually true in the grand scheme of things; however, it certainly is true in respects to me and my relationship with dessert.

Raspberry Nutella Crepe

Crepes are an absolutely fantastic dessert (and breakfast). In high school, when I didn't really cook, I used to show up at a friends house and beg him to make me crepes. Obviously he eventually got annoyed with my incessant pestering and gave me his recipe. Since then, I've experimented with his recipe and made it my own... and it's fantastic.

I was in Greece three summers ago when I was first exposed to the delicious combination of crepes, nutella, and fresh fruit. Now, that's the only way I eat my crepes.

What You Need (Makes 6 Crepes):

• 1/2 cup all purpose flour 
• 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (I use skim)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon of melted butter
• 4.5 tablespoons of Egg Whites (equivalent of 1.5 whole eggs) 
• Raspberries
• Nutella 

How to Make: 

• In one bowl: mix the flour, sugar, and salt together
• In a large bowl: whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla together
• Slowly sift in the flour mixture until smooth. 

The mixture should seem thin; these are not American pancakes

• Finally, stir in melted butter
• Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil over medium to high heat
• Each crepe is equal to 2 tablespoons 
• Use a circular motion when cooking the crepes to spread the batter as thinly as possible
• Cook both sides of the crepe until brown and lacy

This is what I call 'lacy' crepes

• Spread nutella on your crepe and top with raspberries

**Feel free to experiment with toppings. A lot of people enjoy other types of fruit or even just jam. Cinnamon sugar crepes are also delicious.

My roommate is always my crepe taste tester. She seemed pretty happy with the finished product.

She clearly loves it
