Now, let’s get cooking, shall we?

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 cup of ricotta cheese
• Zest of one lemon
• 1/2 cup of maple syrup

Equipment: Non-stick skillet, mixing bowl, whisk or hand blender

Having the right ingredients is crucial for this recipe. The ricotta gives the crepes their rich flavor and spongy texture, while the maple syrup adds a sweet, earthy tone to it. The lemon zest brings out a nice citrusy aroma.

Remember, if you don’t have ricotta, you could substitute it with cream cheese, and so can honey be used in place of maple syrup.

How To Make Maple Ricotta Stuffed Crepes

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, eggs and milk together – whisking until there are no lumps. Let this batter rest for a few minutes.
2. In the meantime, in a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese and lemon zest.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a portion of the batter into the heated skillet. Spread it out evenly.
4. Cook until the edges are golden, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat this step for the rest of the batter.
5. Once all crepes are done, spread the ricotta mix on each crepe and roll them up. Drizzle some tantalizing maple syrup over these beauties and serve with joy.

Tips For The Best Results

• Let the batter rest; this allows the gluten in the flour to relax, giving you tender crepes.
• Don’t rush the cooking; the perfect golden color comes from slow cooking over medium heat.

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The stuffed crepes can last up to two days.
• You can freeze the crepes, but keep the filling and crepes separated. Thaw and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy!
