Nutella, Strawberry & Banana Crepe:

Ingredients:
1 cup of flour
1 egg
2 cups of milk
1 tablespoon of melted butter

Topping:
Nutella
4 bananas (sliced)
Strawberries (slice)
1 can of whipped cream

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, egg, milk, and butter together. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes until batter becomes a 'light cream colour'.

Heat a well greased skillet over a medium-high heat until hot. Add 1/3 cup of batter, be sure to cover the whole area of the skillet to coat surface. Cook until the edged are lightly browned. Flip the crepe to the other side for about 15 seconds and continue this process for the remaining batter.

Using a spatula or spoon, spread a thin layer of Nutella onto the crepe and place banana slices in the center. Be creative and add any fillings your foodie inner self desires. Serve immediately.
