Description

These Spiderweb Crepes are a fun and festive Halloween breakfast treat featuring light, tender crepes decorated with an intricate spiderweb pattern. Made from classic crepe batter and creatively piped in a spooky design, they are perfect for a deliciously themed brunch. Filled with chocolate spread, fresh berries, and topped with whipped cream or powdered sugar, these crepes combine simplicity with eye-catching presentation.

Ingredients

For the Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (300 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional for sweet crepes)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling and Toppings

  • Chocolate hazelnut spread or melted dark chocolate
  • Whipped cream or mascarpone
  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Maple syrup, honey, or fruit compote (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the eggs along with half of the milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Gradually stir in the remaining milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract if using. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate and ensure tender crepes.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. Create the Web: Pour the crepe batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag for precise control. On the hot skillet, first draw a small circle in the center. Then, create radiating straight lines outward from the circle, followed by curved lines connecting these spokes to form a spiderweb pattern.
  4. Cook: Allow the patterned crepe to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are golden and the web design is set. Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and decorations.
  5. Assemble: Once cooked, fill the crepes with chocolate hazelnut spread or your preferred filling such as fresh berries or sliced bananas. Top with whipped cream or mascarpone, dust with powdered sugar, and optionally drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or fruit compote for added sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Resting the batter for 15–30 minutes makes crepes softer and easier to pipe delicate spiderweb designs.
  • Maintain moderate pan temperature to prevent the spiderweb patterns from burning or cooking too quickly.
  • Practice drawing the spiderweb design on a cold pan to gain confidence before cooking the actual crepes.
  • Use a fine-tipped squeeze bottle or piping bag for detailed and precise spiderweb patterns.
  • For a fun Halloween twist, add cocoa powder or food coloring to the batter to create colored or chocolate spiderweb crepes.
