Instructions
Tips & Notes
- Drain the ricotta in a fine sieve for 20 minutes before mixing the filling. Wet ricotta makes the crepes soggy.
- Warm the filled crepes over medium-low heat only. High heat scorches the thin crepes before the ricotta filling warms through.
- Make the ricotta filling up to a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge, so the crepes come together fast in the morning.
