Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240 g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk, whole or 2% (can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to avoid lumps and ensure even distribution.
  2. In another bowl, whisk 3 large eggs until frothy. Add 1 cup (240 g) whole milk ricotta, 1 cup (240 ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 lemon. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick but pourable. Stir in 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to hydrate the flour and create tender crepes. If in a hurry, 10 minutes will suffice.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with melted butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter into the center of the pan, tilting and swirling quickly to spread it thinly and evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden with light brown spots.
  7. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
  8. Transfer cooked crepes to a plate and cover loosely with foil or a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the rest.
  9. Stack the crepes, garnish with fresh blueberries, and drizzle with honey just before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for smooth batter. Resting the batter is key for tender crepes. Use moderate heat and lightly butter the pan to prevent sticking. If batter thickens after resting, add a splash of milk to loosen. The first crepe may be a tester; adjust heat accordingly.
