Making the Crepe Batter:
- Begin by blending the crepe ingredients—whole wheat flour, sugar, milk, salt, and whole eggs—together in a blender until smooth. This will ensure the batter is lump-free and velvety.
- After blending, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining flour lumps. This step ensures a smooth texture for your crepes.
- Once strained, pour the batter into a tall jug to make it easier to pour when cooking.
- Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes. This resting period helps the flour absorb the liquid, resulting in soft and fluffy crepes.
-
Cooking the Crepes:
- Heat a crepe pan (or a non-stick frying pan with a rim) over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil.
- Once the pan is hot, pour just enough batter to cover the base, then tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly, creating a thin film.
- Cook the crepe for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottom starts to turn golden. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and flip the crepe, cooking for another 10–15 seconds on the other side.
- Transfer the cooked crepes to a plate and cover them with a lid to keep them warm and soft while you make the rest.
-
Assembling the Crepes:
- Once all the crepes are cooked, spread a generous layer of Nutella on the inside of each crepe.
- Place the sliced Kiwifruit on top of the Nutella, arranging the fruit evenly across the surface.
- Fold the crepes into a triangle, ensuring the Nutella and kiwi are tucked inside.
-
Serving:
- Serve the Nutella & Kiwifruit Filled Whole Wheat Crepes warm as a delicious breakfast or a sweet snack.
- For an extra treat, pair these crepes with a refreshing smoothie, such as a Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie, or enjoy them on their own for a sweet indulgence.
Tips & Advice:
- Resting the Batter: Don’t skip the resting time! It helps the crepes cook more evenly and results in a softer texture.
- Crepe Size: To get perfect-sized crepes every time, you can use a measuring cup to pour the batter into the pan. A quarter cup of batter usually works well for a standard-sized crepe.
- Filling Variations: While Nutella and Kiwi make a fantastic combo, feel free to switch up the filling. Fresh berries, bananas, or even a drizzle of honey would pair wonderfully with these whole wheat crepes.
- Keep the Crepes Warm: If you’re making multiple crepes, stack them on a plate and cover them with a dome lid or foil to keep them warm until serving. This will prevent them from becoming cold and stiff.
