crepe ingredients:

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 oz butter, melted
• salt
• extra butter, for greasing the pan

filling ingredients:

• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 tsp grated lime zest
• 1-1/2 tsp powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• strawberries, quartered

directions:

1. to prepare the crepes, put the flour in a large bowl, add the egg, milk, butter, and salt and whisk until smooth. refrigerate for 2 hours before cooking.
2. while the crepe batter is resting prepare the filling by heating the milk in a small saucepan over a low heat for 2-3 minutes. remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. transfer the milk to a bowl and add ricotta, zest, powdered sugar, and vanilla and stir to combine.
3. heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and brush with a little butter over the base. ladle 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan and tip the pan slightly to quickly and evenly spread the batter. after a minute, lift the outer edge of the crepe and flip it over and cook for a couple of seconds on the other side. repeat with the remaining batter.
4. place a heaped tablespoon of filling in the center of each crepe, top with strawberries. fold the crepe into thirds. top with more strawberries.
