Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 15 mins


• place the milk, whole eggs, salt, and flour into a blender. blend until smooth. refrigerate at least 20 minutes. meanwhile, make the filling by beating together the cottage cheese, egg yolk, melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
• preheat an oven to 425 degrees f (220 degrees c). lightly grease a baking sheet.
• melt some of the 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter and tilt the pan to completely coat with the batter. cook until golden on the bottom, and no longer wet on the top, about 2 minutes per crepe. repeat with remaining batter.
• place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling near one edge of a crepe. fold this side up towards the center, then fold the sides in. fold the top over the filling, and place seam-side-down the prepared baking sheet. repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
• bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and continue baking until lightly golden, about 5 minutes more.
