🍓 Spaghetti Crepes – A Sweet Pancake Party on Your Plate! 🍌🍫
Spaghetti Crepes are a fun and delicious twist on traditional pancakes, taking your breakfast game to the next level. Imagine delicate, thin crepes piped into spaghetti-like strands, topped with melted chocolate, fresh fruit, and maybe a drizzle of whipped cream for that extra indulgence. This breakfast treat is as fun to make as it is to eat, and it’s perfect for a special morning or brunch party!
Ingredients:
For the Crepes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk of your choice)
2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
1 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweetness)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Toppings:
2 oz dark or milk chocolate (melted)
Fresh fruits (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or your favorites)
Whipped cream (optional)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions:
1. Make the Crepe Batter:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 tbsp sugar (if using), 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk to thin it out.
Let the batter rest for about 15-30 minutes. This helps to create smoother, more delicate crepes.
2. Cook the Crepes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly coat with butter.
Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of batter into the center and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly. You want to create thin crepes.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side, until lightly golden, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
Repeat the process until all of your batter is used up. Stack the cooked crepes on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
3. Pipe the Crepes (Spaghetti Style):
Once your crepes are ready, you’ll want to roll them up and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create the “spaghetti.”
If you want to get extra fancy, you can pipe the batter onto a pan using a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off to form long, thin lines that resemble spaghetti noodles.
4. Assemble the Spaghetti Crepes:
To serve, take a plate and arrange the spaghetti-style crepes in a pile or swirl them into a fun, nest-like shape.
Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the top of the crepes.
Add your fresh fruits—think banana slices, strawberries, or blueberries—for a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
For a touch of sweetness, drizzle maple syrup over the top.
5. Serve & Enjoy:
Serve your spaghetti crepes immediately while warm. You can enjoy them with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or fresh juice.
