French crêpes tagliatelle with chocolate and peanuts!

Ingredients

Pancake batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For cooking:

• 1/2 tbsp. oil (+/-)

Toppings:

• 4 teaspoons peanut butter
• 4 teaspoons melted dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp peanuts (+/-)
• 2 tbsp chocolate chips (+/-)

Materials

• bowl
• whisk
• cling film
• crêpe pan
• paper towel
• spatula

Preparation

• Pancake batter:
  Mix flour and salt. Add eggs, oil and vanilla extract and mix again with a little milk.
• Pour in the milk a little at a time and mix well until smooth. Cover the bowl with cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  
• Heat a crêpe pan over medium heat. Soak a piece of paper towel in oil and oil the pan.
• Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and spread evenly. Cook for a few minutes. When the edges come away from the pan, turn the crêpe over with a spatula. Cook the other side and set aside. Cook remaining crêpes until no batter remains.
  
• Place 3 crêpes on top of each other and roll up. Cut tagliatelle to desired width.
  Repeat the operation.
• Arrange the crêpes tagliatelle in a soup plate. We put about 3 crêpes per plate/portion.
  
• Add toppings. Here: melted chocolate, peanut butter, chopped peanuts and chocolate chips.

Observations

Which crêpes should I use for this recipe?
You can use leftover crêpes, failed crêpes or even make crêpes on purpose! You'll find the recipe for our marbled crêpes right here for a little variety ;-)

Which toppings to use?
Here we've made a snickers-style version with peanut butter and melted chocolate. You can use the spread of your choice or simply add sugar and lemon juice ;-). Don't hesitate to vary the textures by adding a little crunch, as we do here with chopped peanuts.

Is it possible to make a lactose-free crêpe batter?
You can easily replace milk with a plant-based drink of your choice. Our favorite: almond "milk", you'll find the recipe here. You can also replace it with beer for a super-light batter!
