Whey Crepes with Homemade Ricotta and Seasonal Fruit

I described my first attempt at cheese making in an earlier post. I made a deliciously simple whole milk ricotta cheese and had the benefit of some nutritious whey as well.  I was keen to find a recipe that would use both of these, so was delighted when I discovered a recipe for whey crepes served with ricotta cheese and fruit – perfect for a weekend breakfast.

Recipe

3 eggs

1 cup flour

2 tbsp melted butter

1 1/2 cups whey

1 tbsp sugar

Break eggs into a food processor.  Add flour, butter, whey and sugar. Process until smooth.  Chill for at least an hour (batter will keep up to 2 days so make the night before if cooking for breakfast).  Cook crepes in a lightly buttered non-stick pan.

To serve:

Cooked crepes

Soft homemade ricotta

Sliced fresh fruit, stewed fruit or jam

Pure maple syrup (or I used a Lime & Vanilla Syrup)
