Ingredients
Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Topping (optional):
- Fresh berries
- powdered sugar
- whipped cream
- extra lemon zest
Instructions
- Crepes: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Blend or whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes. Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden, then flip and cook another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- Filling: For the filling, combine mascarpone, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Assembly: To assemble, spread a generous spoonful of lemon mascarpone filling onto each crepe. Fold into quarters or roll up, then top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar and extra lemon zest if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For an extra lemony punch, add a spoonful of lemon curd to the filling or drizzle on top.
- The crepes can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
