French crêpes tagliatelle with chocolate and peanuts!
If you've got a stack of crêpes lying around, or a couple of failures on your hands, this recipe is your best ally. Turn the "déjà-vu" into a tagliatelle crêpe dish that's sure to be a hit! The concept is ultra-simple: roll up your crêpes, cut them into thin strips, and you've got sweet "pasta" ready for a generous coating of chocolate and peanut butter. It's the ultimate in recycling, transforming leftovers from the day before into a super gourmet dessert without having to start a new batch ;)

- 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!
