Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • ⅔ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 4 large eggs

  • ⅛ teaspoon almond extract

  • Combine milk, flour, ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and almond extract in a blender; process until smooth. Let sit for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer.
  • Heat an 8-inch omelette pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Lightly spray the hot pan with nonstick spray and melt a little butter in it. Pour 1/3 cup batter into the hot pan. Wait a few seconds, then slowly tilt the pan in all directions until the bottom surface and part of the sides are coated. Cook until top surface is dry and the edges release easily with the tip of a pairing knife; this will happen quickly.
  • Place 2 tablespoons sliced strawberries directly in the center of each crepe while still in the pan. Fold crepe into quarters and transfer to a plate to serve. Cook remaining batter the same way; be sure to stir the batter each time because it settles quickly.
