• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Spread a portion of the batter thinly, covering the bottom of the skillet. Cook until edges begin to brown, 3 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Spread a portion of chocolate-hazelnut spread on the crepe while still in the skillet; roll up and serve on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter and chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Strain into a jug and let sit for 30 minutes. Add more milk or water if necessary to give the consistency of thin cream. Fry the crepes in a nonstick pan. If you do not have a nonstick pan use a bit of oil.
• For the chocolate sauce: Put the chocolate and cream together in a saucepan and heat, gently, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is very smooth. Thin, as needed with more cream. Serve hot.
• To serve: Fill the crepes with sliced banana or strawberries and sweetened cinnamon-flecked whipped cream. They look best folded over into a triangle. Drizzle chocolate sauce over top.

CHOCOLATE CREPES

Steps:

• Crepe batter: in a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon butter, and cognac.
• Filling: beat pudding mix, instant coffee and whipping cream together with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick.
• Sauce: in a small saucepan, melt the chocolate, butter, evaporated milk, and confectioners' sugar together until the mixture is a little thick.
• Crepes: heat a small skillet (or crepe pan) to a high temperature. Place a small amount of batter into the skillet and swirl it around until the batter covers the bottom of the pan. When the crepe is slightly browned flip the crepe over and let the other side brown for a few seconds. The first crepe will most likely not turn out well, but the rest will. Stack the crepes on top of each other to let tem cool before filling.
• Spoon the filling into the center of each crepe and roll the crepe up around it. Spoon the sauce over the crepes and serve.

A VERY DRAMATIC CRêPE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine the cake flour, sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, orange zest, salt, and orange liqueur (if using) in a blender on low speed for 10 seconds. Increase the speed to medium for 10 seconds, then stop the blender and use a spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom. Blend on medium speed an additional 10 seconds. Let the batter rest, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Heat a 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When the skillet is hot, brush it lightly with melted butter. (You'll know the skillet is hot enough because the butter will sizzle and dance around the skillet.)
• Measure a scant ¼ cup of batter in the center of the skillet. Pick up the skillet by the handle and swirl in a circular motion so that the batter coats the bottom in an even layer, avoiding hitting the sides of the skillet (the batter will start to set immediately, so swirl quickly). It's okay if there are a few spots that the batter doesn't get to before it sets-just leave it be.
• Cook until the crêpe starts to brown around the edges and the bottom side is set, about 90 seconds. Use a spatula to loosen the edges, following the circumference of the crêpe. Then, carefully slide the spatula under the crêpe and flip. (If you're having a hard time flipping, let the crêpe cook a little longer.) It's okay if the crêpe folds on itself as you flip-just straighten it out.
• Cook on the other side until the crêpe is golden, about 60 seconds. Shake the skillet back and forth, then slide the crêpe out of the skillet onto a plate. Keep cooking and stacking, one crêpe on top of the next, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Continue until all the crêpes are cooked. (If you notice the crêpes getting darker and crisper as you cook, turn the heat down a notch.)
• Place 2 cups of the heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl (if using a hand mixer). Whip on medium until soft peaks form, about 6 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the cheat pastry cream until combined and smooth.
• Place a single crêpe on a cake plate or cake board. Measure a scant ¹⁄³ cup of the filling onto the crêpe and use a small, offset spatula or a butter knife to smooth it into an even layer. Place the next crêpe on top and continue layering until you are out of filling (you will have several crêpes left over, which are perfect for snacking while the cake chills).
• Wrap the cake in plastic and refrigerate for at least 6 hours so the filling can set.
• When ready to serve, whip the remaining ½ cup heavy cream in the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until medium-stiff peaks form. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the cake. Slice and serve like a traditional layered cake.

SERENDIPITY'S CHOCOLATE CREPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add milk, brandy or vanilla, melted butter, and chocolate syrup, and stir. Whisk in flour slowly, so no lumps form. DO NOT OVERMIX; stop as soon as the flour is completely incorporated.
• In a crepe pan or large nonstick skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of butter over medium-high heat. Have two clean plates ready. When butter bubbles, quickly pour in one ladle (about 2 tablespoons) of crepe batter and roll the pan around so the entire bottom is covered in a very thin layer. Cook the crepe, shaking once or twice to prevent sticking, until most but not all of the batter on top has set, or the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
• Slide the crepe onto a plate, cooked side down. Quickly invert the plate into the pan, flipping the crepe. (If you're feeling brave, you can use a thin bladed spatula or palette knife to flip the crepe over.) Cook another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Slide onto the second to cool.
• Continue with remaining batter, adding more butter as necessary, stacking crepes on top of each other on second plate.
• There are so many different ways to serve these. Wrap a crepe around a scoop of ice cream and serve with powdered sugar and whipped cream. Wrap a crepe around a few tablespoonfuls of cherry pie filling, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and top with whipped cream. Spread a crepe with cream cheese (plain or flavored), sprinkle with fresh cut fruit or chocolate chips, roll up, and serve with whipped cream.
