Ingredients
Crepe:
1 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Butter, for cooking the crepes
Cheese Filling:
2 1/2 pounds ricotta
3/4 pound brick cream cheese, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Butter, for cooking rolled crepes
Serving suggestions: sour cream and fruit preserves
Directions
- For the crepe: Beat milk, eggs and 1 cup water in a bowl. Add flour and powdered sugar to make a thin batter.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter on a well-buttered medium hot 10-inch fry pan, spreading it as thin as possible. Fry until light brown, then flip and brown other side until light brown. Turn out on wax paper. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For the cheese filling: Mix ricotta, cream cheese, eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Spread evenly over the surface of a crepe. Tuck in ends and roll up. Cook in butter in a fry pan until brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
- Serve with sour cream and fruit preserves.
