Ingredients
- 1 cup cold milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (plus more for frying)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 8 oz ricotta cheese
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–4 tablespoons milk (for filling)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine cold milk, eggs, canola oil, flour, salt, and sugar. Blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add about ½ teaspoon of oil. Pour a small stream of batter into the pan and swirl to coat evenly. Cook until golden brown on one side (about 20 seconds), flip and cook for another 15 seconds. Repeat until all batter is used.
- For the filling, blend ricotta cheese, lemon zest, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a food processor until smooth.
- Fill each crepe with the lemon ricotta mixture, folding or rolling them as desired. Serve warm with optional toppings like powdered sugar or fresh berries.
