    Method

    Wesson Basics Crepes

    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt and set aside. In a separate bowl, blend Wesson Vegetable Oil, eggs, milk, and sugar until well combined. Add in the dry ingredients gradually, mixing the batter in between additions. Blend for 30-45 seconds or until batter is completely smooth.

    Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat, adding 1 tbsp of Wesson Vegetable Oil to coat the pan. Add 1/4 – 1/3 cup batter to the center of the pan, quickly lifting the pan off the element and rotating it in a circular motion to evenly coat the pan with the batter. If your batter seems a bit thick and difficult to spread, add milk 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached.

    Cook the crepe for about 15-20 seconds until the bottom is slightly browned. carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 5-10 seconds, lightly browning the other side.

    Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat the process.

    Lemon Ricotta Filling

    Drain ricotta cheese to remove excess liquid. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, icing sugar, and vanilla. Blend on medium speed until smooth.

    Macerated Fruit Topping

    In a medium bowl, toss fruit, sugar, lemon juice until the fruit is well coated.

    If the fruit is fresh, slice the peaches, nectarines, or apricots to desired thickness, about 1/4″-1/2″ thick. Let the fruit sit in the fridge for at least one hour to overnight. The fruit will soften and create a thin syrup.

    Tip: if you don’t have time to let the fridge macerate in the fridge, add the fruit, sugar, and lemon juice to a nonstick pan and cook over medium heat until softened.

    Assembly Method
    On a large plate or cutting board, lay a crepe flat. Spread a heaping tablespoon of ricotta filling evenly over the surface of the crepe. Fold teh crepe in half into a half circle and then in half again to form a quarter circle. Arrange 3 crepes onto a plate, and spoon over the macerated fruit. Garnish with a dusting of icing sugar and lemon zest.
