Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 cups milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and let batter rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden, then flip and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat to make 8 crepes.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, gently fold 1 cup ricotta cheese with 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries.
  4. Step 4: To make the vanilla honey drizzle, warm 1/4 cup honey with 1 tsp vanilla extract in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Fill each crepe with about 2-3 tbsp of the strawberry-ricotta mixture, fold or roll, and arrange on plates. Drizzle with warm vanilla honey and dust with 2 tbsp powdered sugar before serving.

How do I store leftover Strawberry-Ricotta Crepes with Vanilla Honey Drizzle?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
