Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oats or flour (oat flour or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet versions)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, oats or flour, vanilla extract (if using), and salt. Blend until smooth with no large lumps, ensuring the crepes will be silky and uniform.
  2. Heat the Pan: Set a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. A well-heated pan helps to cook the crepes evenly and achieve a golden brown edge.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour a small ladleful of batter into the center of the pan, swirling gently to spread into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and surface looks set. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. Keep Warm and Repeat: Transfer cooked crepes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil to retain heat. Continue cooking the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Fill the crepes with your favorite toppings or fillings and enjoy immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Blend the batter thoroughly for smooth, lump-free crepes.
  • Use a non-stick pan for easier flipping and perfect texture.
  • Adjust milk quantity to keep batter pourable but not runny.
  • Cook one crepe at a time to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Keep crepes warm using a low oven or covered plate to prevent drying out.
