Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs. Whisk in 3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree, 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup water, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until combined. Add 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, whisking until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Heat the Cooking Surface: Place a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to warm up fully to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Crepes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the heated griddle or skillet. Immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook the crepe for approximately 1 minute or until the bottom is lightly golden.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds until it is cooked through. Remove the crepe and place it on a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
- Fill and Fold (Optional): To make Nutella-filled crepes, spread Nutella over half of a cooked crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then spread Nutella over the top half and fold it in half again to create a neat triangular shape. Serve immediately with your choice of garnish such as powdered sugar, syrup, fresh berries, or cream cheese.
Notes
- For thinner crepes, add a little more water or milk to the batter to reach your desired consistency.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before pouring batter to prevent sticking and tearing.
- Use a nonstick skillet or griddle for best results and easy flipping.
- These crepes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a skillet before serving.
- Feel free to customize fillings according to your taste preferences.
