Hello!
Fancy a fancy breakfast? Brunch, maybe? If you’re feeling up for it, maybe even dessert!
Although blueberries at the moment are about forty-six thousand dollars to buy. Feel free to substitute something else – just about any fruit would work in this crepe, as would a lovely compote or coulis. I just like their tiny berriness and their mild flavour. As the honeyed ricotta is quite subtle, it can be nice to have something non-overpowering to serve it with. I think this would be equally delicious with cherries or even strawberries. Banana? maybe!
The secret is a very thin, runny batter. That will get you a very light, thin crepe with those necessary slightly-crispy edges. Don’t be afraid to add enough milk to make it very runny indeed.
Also don’t be afraid to have incredibly cute two-year-olds helping out. They’re adorable.
I get my raw honey from a roadside stand in the hinterland. It also sells macadamia nuts, figs, avocadoes and geraniums. I come away with a new one every time!
I first started making crepes when I was very young – probably around 10 or so. I loved them with lemon and sugar, and have never really gotten into the maple syrup side of things. with hotcakes, yeah, but not crepes. I’m a tough nut to crack!
So anyway. My crepes. With honeyed ricotta and blueberries. Enjoy.
Crepes with honeyed ricotta and blueberries
Print recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup white flour
- 1 Large egg
- 1 cup milk (maybe more)
- 1 pinch salt
- 260g ricotta
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup blueberries
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Stir milk into flour slowly, whisking constantly. Add egg. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Meanwhile, beat honey into ricotta in a small bowl. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Heat a small frying pan to medium-high. A small pan is best so you can make each crepe the same size, but a big pan is fine too. You can use a ladle so you get the exact same amount of crepe batter every time, or you can wing it, like me! Pour enough batter to create a crepe about the size of a small side plate. It will cook rather fast, so flip it after a few minutes when the underside browns. Cook the other side until you see brown spots and then you're done! | |
| Step 4 | |
| Roll up each crepe with a little ricotta and blueberries, and drizzle honey over. | |
Pancake and crepe nuts in this house …. With a cute almost 2 yr old who would also love to mix the batter. You have inspired me – crepes this morning it is. Thanks
Ohh I hope you enjoyed it! I can’t get into pancakes, but I’ll totally crepe it up!
Just … yum! Oh and I grew up eating lemon and sugar on my crepes too!
It really is the best combination!
You can make me breakfast anytime!
I will also accept crepes for lunch or dinner.
And how stinking cute is Abby! And I love that she is into Holden Caufield already…she is totally going to be on to those phonies.
Oh my god, such a phony. I even went looking for ducks at Central Park just like him. What a rad dude!
Yum,thanks Stacey,your right about the blueberries being exxy,but I stashed some in the freezer for when I feel like some,and can I lend your cute 2 year old one day,she is a sweetie!
I did that too! Clever clogs x
You can make this Crepe Recipe delicious with bluberries. I Love blue berries. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us dear.
Oh a stack! That’s pretty cool.
This looks delicious and what a fabulous photograph. Too sweet for brekkie…this one’s a dessert for me.
haha i’m totally the opposite – this isn’t sweet enough for dessert! The ricotta is very mild and maybe it’s just me but I never find blueberries very sweet. But it’s totally edible any time! 😉
Those look like such beautiful thin pancakes. They’d be perfect for any time of the day, just like you say!
Crispy edges…. so good.
The Catcher in the Rye? Are you right???
Eep, I know! haha. My own Holden Caulfield.
