Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients until you have a smooth and thin batter. Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, lemon zest, stevia or erythritol sweetener, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour a small amount of the batter (about 2-3 tablespoons) into the skillet, tilting it in a circular motion to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the crepe easily releases from the pan. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds. Remove to a plate.
Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying the cooking spray as needed to prevent sticking.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the edge of each crepe. Fold the sides in and roll the crepe up to enclose the filling.
Once all the blintzes are filled, you can optionally fry them again in the skillet (seam side down first) with a little butter until heated through and lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Serve warm with fresh fruit or a dollop of sugar-free yogurt.
