Steps for Quick Nutella Crepes
Pour into a bowl the 3 whole eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, sunflower oil, and beat with electric whisks (or a hand whisk), add the milk, vinegar, and sifted flour, mix well to avoid lumps, finally pour in the boiling water and mix, you should obtain a rather liquid batter.
If lumps have formed, strain the batter through a sieve. Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Take a non-stick pan, about 8 inches in diameter, and melt a little butter in it, when hot, pour two small ladles of batter and cook the crepes over medium-low heat.
Cook the crepes, one at a time, for 1 to 2 minutes on one side and then flip to the other side and cook for about 1 more minute (you can flip the crepe as soon as you see small bubbles forming on the surface).
Let the crepes cool well, fold them in half like a booklet, fill with Nutella, and then roll them up (see photo above). Arrange the crepes on a serving plate and if desired, sprinkle with vanilla powdered sugar or unsweetened cocoa powder,

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
How do you store crepes?
Once cooled, crepes (or pancakes) can be stored in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for 24/48 hours.
Crepes can also be frozen without filling (individually, placed horizontally, separated by a sheet of parchment paper) for a maximum of 3 months.
When needed, take them out of the freezer and let them thaw in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.
To reheat them, simply warm them in a pan with a knob of butter and then fill them as desired
