<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 110%;">For Compote</span></strong></p>
<p>2 cups Concord grapes, whole, stems removed, plus 1 cup halved, seeded, stems removed</p>
<p>3/4 cup water</p>
<p>1/4 cup sugar</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Combine 2 cups of grapes, sugar, and water in a saucepan over moderate heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until grapes are broken down. Using a fine mesh strainer, pressing on solids strain mixture into a bowl. Discard the solids. Return strained mixture to saucepan and add remaining grape halves. Simmer over low heat about 5 minutes until grape halves soften. Set aside.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;"><strong>For Crepes:</strong></span></p>
<p>1 1/2 cups flour</p>
<p>1/2 cup cocoa powder</p>
<p>6 tablespoons confectioners sugar</p>
<p>1/4 teaspoon salt</p>
<p>2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted</p>
<p>2 cups milk</p>
<p>2 large eggs</p>
<p>1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract</p>
<p>1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread, such as nutella</p>
<p>1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts</p>
<p>butter as needed</p>
<p>parchment paper</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a large bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt. In another bowl, whisk together butter, milk, eggs and vanilla until blended. Add wet ingredients a little at a time to the dry ingredients. Whisk until all lumps have dissolved and mixture is smooth. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.</p>
<p>Melt some butter in a 6-inch skillet&nbsp;over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl the pan around to spread the batter evenly over the bottom. Cook crepe until golden brown on both sides, turning once with a spatula, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total.&nbsp;Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Stack the crepes between squares of parchment paper.</p>
<p>Spread chocolate hazelnut evenly over crepes and sprinkle with nuts. Roll up firmly to enclose the filling. Serve with concord grape compote.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.thejewelsofny.com/chocolate-hazelnut-crepes-with/rss-comments-entry-5651021.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
