Nutella stuffed Crepes


Happy summer everyone! I just realized that I haven't posted a single recipe this summer! Ooooh, bad, bad girl. My excuse, this time, is that my computer keeps breaking down. I haven't been able to work on it this whole month! Imagine your life without your computer. 

On one hand, it sounds good news to me! No computer, no work, no frustration, nothing. But on the other hand, work has to be done regardless so yup. I've been using my mom's but still, it's someone else's and inspiration doesn't hit me so hard when I don't have my stuff.

Oh well. Life goes on and I have made some pretty yummy things. Like these crepes that are loaded with Nutella. I mean stuffed to the point that it's almost too much of the gooey, hazelnutty, chocolatey, rich spread. But thankfully, the crepe compensates nicely. Since it's not very sweet, the combination of the two makes a deathly good pair. 
I mean, come on! Crepes are one of the best things in life. Yes, they are better than pancakes. In my opinion. 

You can put pretty much anything on top. I love mine with sweet ricotta cream. Or homemade strawberry jam. Or a poppy seed cream with sour cherries. Okay, I just made that up now, I've never had poppy seed cream in crepes. But now that I think of it, it should taste amazing! :)


Also, if you make your crepes without sugar you can make a fantastic cheesy mess! Just grate an awful lot of good quality cheese on top of a crepe, fold them and grill them in a pan. Yum!
Okay, okay I will just give you the recipe that will enable you to make some for yourself! ;)

Crepes
makes 20 bigger ones

3 eggs
3 Tbsp raw cane sugar
9 dl milk
2 dl sparkling water
450 grams flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix the eggs with the sugar. Add half the amount of the milk. Add half the amount of flour. Mix it together. Add the remaining milk, vanilla extract and flour. Mix it so it will be lumpless. Add in the salt and sparkling water. The batter shouldn't be thick nor too thin, more like the consistency of cream. 

Add a few drops of oil into a pan. Turn the heat to medium and wait until the pan becomes hot. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and tilt it with a circular motion so the batter coats the surface evenly. Cook each side about 1-2 minutes.
You should turn the crepe when you see small air bubbles and the sides turn a little darker in color. 

Repeat the same method with the remaining batter. Always add a few drops of oil in the pan so the crepes won't stick to the bottom.

Homemade Nutella

I was an exchange student (ah how many times I've said this sentence...) 5 years ago in the US. I'm not gonna talk about how it was (AMAZING) but then and there I gained sisters! Now I have one living in the States and one living in Germany. And next week we are gonna be reunited! I can't wait, I am so excited! So this week I am going to Germany and was thinking what I should bring. Because basically Germany has everything that Hungary has, if not more. So what to give what to give? I was thinking really hard when a completely random thing came to my mind. I should make some nutella. She loves nutella. Frankly, who doesn't, right? I love it, too although it's been years since I ate any. I can't really explain why because I always think that if I eat just one spoon, I will gain a 100 pounds immediately. But with this thought, I shouldn't be eating any brownies, cookies...etc.  BUT today I tried my homemade Nutella. OH MY GOD. I wouldn't have though...

Hungarian Kakaós Csiga (Chocolate Rolls)

Frankly, I missed baking so much! Even though I needed one baking-free month to lose all the weight I gained due to the excessive baking mania I got over this summer I just cannot stop it! So I decided that I don't have to give up this love of mine but I do have to figure out something that will not leave me end up gaining weight again. What to do, what to do...Bake only in the weekends! And probably I should get a grip and not stuff my face until I can't move...Which didn't really happen today. I ate like 6 of these lovely chocolate rolls...I guess, no dinner for Csilla tonight :P These rolls are from a traditional Hungarian pastry recipe. I called my Grandma to ask for the recipe and as it always happens with Grandma recipes she did not know the measurements...I don't know if it's only with my grandmas but they always work with their eyes so they usually have no idea how much grams I need from this or that... So I turned to an ancient Hungarian cookbook and that...
