Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place flour, milk, water, eggs, melted butter, and salt into a blender; blend until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

Beat confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream.

Step 3

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Pour or scoop batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate the pan to spread batter as thinly as possible.
