Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Crepe Batter

  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Garnish/Filling Ideas

  • Nutella
  • Powdered sugar
  • Syrup
  • Berries
  • Cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in the pumpkin puree, milk, water, and melted butter until well combined. Gradually add in the flour, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and the ground spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger). Beat the mixture until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Heat the cooking surface: Place a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat to preheat. Ensure the pan is hot enough before cooking to achieve the perfect crepe texture.
  3. Cook the crepes: Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the batter onto the heated griddle or skillet. Immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for approximately 1 minute or until the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe carefully and cook for an additional 30 seconds or until fully cooked through. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  4. Fill and serve: To make Nutella stuffed crepes, spread Nutella over half of a cooked crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then spread Nutella on the top half before folding it in half once more to create a neat, layered treat. Alternatively, garnish with powdered sugar, syrup, berries, or cream cheese as desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For easier flipping, use a thin, flexible spatula specifically designed for crepes.
  • Adjust the batter consistency with additional water or milk if it seems too thick to spread smoothly.
  • Use fresh spices for the best aromatic flavor in the crepes.
  • Crepes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Warm crepes slightly before serving if stored chilled or frozen.
