Method
Techniques
- 3 whole large eggs
- whole milk
- all-purpose flour
- sugar
- salt
- vegetable oil
- water
- vanilla
Blend the eggs, whole milk, flour, a little sugar, salt, vegetable oil, a splash of water and a touch of vanilla until completely smooth, scraping down any flour; rest on the counter 30 minutes (or make ahead and refrigerate).
- ricotta cheese
- mascarpone

Two-cheese filling
- vegetable oil
- ¼ cup batter
Spritz a 10 inch nonstick pan on medium-high with oil; pour in about a quarter cup of batter, swirl and tilt to coat, and cook about a minute until the surface is completely dry; optionally flip a few seconds. Stack.
Cooking the crepes
- 3–4 tbsp filling
Spoon three to four tablespoons of filling an inch from the near edge, fold that side over, flatten slightly, fold in both sides and roll up seam side down. Can be refrigerated until serving.
- clarified butter
Brown in clarified butter on medium a couple of minutes per side until golden; handle gently.
Transfer to a lightly buttered baking dish and bake at 325F about 12 minutes so the filling firms; rest 10 minutes.
- raspberry sauce
- blueberries
- raspberries
- 3 whole blackberries
- mint
- powdered sugar
Plate with raspberry sauce, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, a sprig of mint and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
