2 Tbsp sugar
Pinch of Salt

Joanna Gaine’s Book:

½ cup whole milk
3/4 cup milk, warm
2 large eggs
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted.
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
½ tsp kosher salt

Fillings

Lemon Ricotta from Barbara Bakes:

8 oz. ricotta cheese
zest of 1 lemon
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 –4 tablespoons milk

Results

I followed Joanna’s recipe and the crepes were delicious.

I used one less tbsp of sugar in the lemon ricotta and it was still very sweet.

Using the 1/3 cup measuring cup to spoon in batter worked better than the 1/4 cup.
