Introduction

These do use real sugar, but split over 8 crepes, it's less than you might expect. You can use sugar substitute if you would like to make them super-low carb, or use less sugar if you just want them to be less sweet.

Ingredients

    1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
    4 regular or jumbo eggs
    2 tbsp extra fine granulated sugar
    .25 tsp sea salt
    2 tbsp salted butter

Tips

These can be used for either a sweet filling (fresh fruit or homemade low-sugar chocolate ganache) or a savory filling (cubed ham and shredded cheese; sautéed onions, shaved brussel sprouts and eggs, shredded chicken or beef and ricotta.)


Directions

Blend all ingredients in a blender. Spray a non-stick 8" skillet or crepe pan with coconut oil and heat on medium-low. For each crepe, spoon a bit less than 1/3 cup of the batter onto prepared pan. Pick up and tilt the pan around with a circular motion so the batter covers the whole base of the pan. The batter should sizzle a bit when it hits the pan, so if there's no sizzle, try turning the heat up a notch. Cook for 3 minutes or until edges are well browned, then carefully separate edges from pan and slide a spatula underneath. Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until the surface is no longer shiny. Place on a paper towel on a plate. Repeat for all crepes, layering paper towels in between. If you want to keep them warm, use parchment paper instead of paper towels and place plate in a 200 degree F oven while cooking the crepes. (This will also dry them out a bit.)

Serving Size: Makes 8 thin crepes.
