Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

Recipe Description

Make these Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes and serve them with sweet whipped ricotta cream, citrus and honey for an elegant spring brunch. The ricotta cheese does double duty here: it gives the batter a slightly nubby texture with a bit of oomph and makes a fancy topping for crêpes. These crêpes are tender and lacy, with a burst of flavor from a medley of citrus fruits and honey. Perfect for Easter brunch and Mother’s Day!

Plan ahead: Once the batter is made, it could be refrigerated overnight. If chilled, bring the batter back to room temperature and give it a good stir before cooking. Well-wrapped and placed in a ziplock plastic bag, the crêpes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days and in the freezer for a few months. Reheat in a low oven or in a microwave before serving.   

To make the Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes, you will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

Steps to make

  1. 1

    Combine dry ingredients

    1 min
    Step 1 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    In a large bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup oat flour, ⅓ cup millet flour and ⅓ cup sweet rice flour, and ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt.

  2. 2

    Add wet ingredients

    2 min
    Step 2 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    Add 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon honey, and ¼ cup milk and whisk to form a smooth and thick batter.

  3. 3

    Add remaining milk and ricotta

    2 min
    Step 3 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    Gradually whisk in the remaining milk, then add 1 cup ricotta. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two milk to thin it.

  4. 4

    Cook crepes

    25 min
    Step 4 - Gluten-Free Ricotta CrêpesStep 4 - Gluten-Free Ricotta CrêpesStep 4 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    Heat an 8-inch crêpe pan or a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a small pat of ghee or butter to the pan and use a scrunched-up paper towel to help coat the pan evenly. Once the pan is hot, pour ⅓ cup batter onto the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook the crêpe until the edges are golden and the top is fairly dry, about 2 minutes. Flip the crêpe over and cook for about 1 minute on the other side until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter. Adjust the heat under the pan as needed.

  5. 5

    Keep warm

    Step 5 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    Fold the cooked crêpes into quarters and slide them onto a covered plate to keep warm.

  6. 6

    Make whipped ricotta cream

    2 min
    Step 6 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    In the meantime, make the whipped ricotta cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, combine ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup ricotta, 1 tablespoon honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip on medium-high speed until the mixture forms soft peaks. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

  7. 7

    Prepare citrus

    5 min
    Step 7 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    On a cutting board, cut the ends off of an orange. Place the orange cut-side down on the cutting board. Starting from the top, use a sharp chef’s or serrated knife to follow the curve of the fruit to cut away the peel and pith. Turn the orange on its side and cut it into thin rounds. Remove any seeds. Repeat with the remaining oranges and tangerines.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Step 8 - Gluten-Free Ricotta Crêpes

    Just before serving, re-warm the cooked crêpes in the hot pan and place two on each of the four plates. Divide the citrus rounds over the crèpes and sprinkle with mint leaves. Spoon the whipped ricotta cream to the side of each crèpe and drizzle with honey. Serve right away!
