Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg yolk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
• 1 teaspoon melted butter
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Place the milk, whole eggs, salt, and flour into a blender. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling by beating together the cottage cheese, egg yolk, melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 3

Melt some of the 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter and tilt the pan to completely coat with the batter. Cook until golden on the bottom, and no longer wet on the top, about 2 minutes per crepe. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 4

Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling near one edge of a crepe. Fold this side up towards the center, then fold the sides in. Fold the top over the filling, and place seam-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and continue baking until lightly golden, about 5 minutes more.
