Oatmeal Crepes With Strawberries Ricotta Food

STRAWBERRY RICOTTA CREPES

Steps:

• For the crepes batter: Stir the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Combine the milk, water, eggs and melted butter in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add the flour mixture. Blend just until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender carafe. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, if time allows.
• For the filling: Combine the sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons of honey in a medium bowl. Refrigerate 30 minutes, if time allows.
• Beat the drained fresh ricotta with the remaining 3 tablespoons honey, mint and lemon zest in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon until light and smooth.
• Heat a nonstick crepe pan or large nonstick saute pan over a medium flame. Spray with the cooking spray. Ladle about 2 ounces of the crepe batter into the center of the pan and swirl. When the center begins to set, flip with a spatula and continue cooking until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining crepe batter (it will make 8 to 10 crepes).
• Fill the crepes with the ricotta mixture and roll up. Spoon the strawberries over the crepes. Dust with the confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• CREPES:.
• Combine all ingredients for crepes, except melted butter, in a blender. Process at high speed until smooth. Let batter stand for 10-15 minutes. Add melted butter and resume blending until smooth.
• Heat a crepe pan or 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Grease pan with melted butter. Pour in 2 tablespoons of the crepe batter, swirling the batter around the pan to coat the bottom. Cook crepe until golden brown. Flip crepe and cook until golden spots appear, about 15 seconds. Transfer crepe to parchment-lined ovenproof plate. Repeat with remaining batter, placing a sheet of paper towel between crepes. Cover tightly with foil, and keep warm in a 350F oven.
