Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp. orange zest or 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1 pint strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 1 pint raspberries
  • 1 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 3 Tbs. granulated sugar, or to taste
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 4 to 6 tsp. unsalted butter
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

  1. In a blender, combine the milk, egg, flour, salt, oil and zest and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, lemon juice and 2 Tbs. of the granulated sugar, or to taste. In another bowl, combine the ricotta and the remaining 1 Tbs. granulated sugar. Set aside.

  3. In a crepe pan over medium heat, melt 1 tsp. of the butter to coat the pan evenly. Pour in 1/3 cup of the batter and spread with a spatula. Cook until the crepe is golden underneath, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the crepe over and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Repeat to make 4 to 6 crepes.

  4. ver half of each crepe with the ricotta mixture and fold into quarters. Place 1 crepe on each individual plate. Top with the berries and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
