Starting with the Crepe Batter:

  1. In a bowl, combine

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 1/2 cup (400 ml) whole milk

  • 4 tbsp (30-40 g) cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp (20 g) sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp vegetable oil

2. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You can use stand or hand mixer in this step, I find that simple whisk works just fine.

3. Allow the batter to rest for 15-20 minutes to let the cornstarch to expand.

    You can also add poppy seeds or dried fruits and berries here (such as raisins).

Cook the Crepes:

6. Heat a skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.

7. Pour a small amount of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

8. Cook each crepe for about 1-2 minutes until they turn lightly golden. I am cooking mine on one side only.

Fill the Crepes:

9. Place a spoonful of the cottage cheese filling onto each crepe.

10. Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, then roll it up to create a neat package.

Prepare the Topping:

11. This step is optional. Combine 10 oz of sour cream with powdered sugar and a dash of vanilla extract, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. I didn’t use sugar in this step as I was planning to serve the crepes with jam.
