Servings: 9 crepes
Calories: 86kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup egg whites or 6 large egg whites
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- Avocado oil or butter for greasing the skillet, optional
Instructions
- In a high speed blender, add eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, milk, flour, vanilla and salt.
- Blend on high speed until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Preheat your non-stick crepe skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/3 cup of the batter and quickly distribute the batter with swirl motions until the bottom of your skillet is completely covered.
- Cook the crepes for 45-60 seconds per each side, flipping once. Do not flip the crepes until the edges look set.
- Serve as desired, dusted with powdered sugar, fruit or chocolate sauce.
Notes
- Adding oil: You can add oil if you do not have a non-stick crepe skillet. I have a special one just for crepes.
- Sweetener: I did not add any sweetener because vanilla enriched the batter. But if you want to add some sweetness, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or a tablespoon of maple syrup.
- The batter should be smooth and lump-free: Consistency should be slightly thinner than the heavy cream. When poured into the pan, the batter should spread quickly and evenly when the pan is tilted, forming a thin, even layer.
