Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 300F (150C). Spread the whole hazelnuts on a baking sheet.
-
Toast the hazelnuts in the oven, shaking the pan occasionally, until the skins darken and crack, about 15 minutes.
-
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Transfer the nuts to a clean kitchen towel.
-
Fold the towel over the nuts and rub vigorously to loosen and remove the skins.
-
Discard the skins and place the toasted hazelnuts into a food processor or blender.
-
Pulse the hazelnuts until they are finely chopped but not turned into butter.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, Frangelico (or Kahlua), vanilla extract, almond extract, and eggs until well blended.
-
Add the flour all at once and beat until the batter is smooth and all flour is fully incorporated.
-
Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and melted butter until evenly distributed.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to rest.
-
Remove batter from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
-
Heat a non-stick crepe pan or skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and dances across the surface.
-
Lightly oil the pan with butter or neutral oil using a paper towel.
-
Remove the pan from the heat source. Pour in approximately 1/4 cup of batter and swirl quickly to coat the bottom in a thin, even layer.
-
Return the pan to the heat. Cook until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Flip the crepe with a spatula and cook the other side for another minute until lightly golden.
-
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper between each crepe to prevent sticking.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, oiling the pan as needed.
-
To serve, place a scoop of coffee ice cream on each warm crepe and roll or fold neatly.
