Instructions:

1. Prepare the crêpe batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
   • In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

2. Prepare the filling:

   • In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined. Set aside.

3. Cook the crêpes:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
   • Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

4. Assemble the crêpes:

   • Spread a spoonful of the lemon ricotta filling over half of each crêpe. Fold the crêpe in half, then in quarters to create a triangular shape.

5. Garnish and serve:

   • Arrange the filled crêpes on a plate. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and garnish with fresh berries, mint leaves, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Optional Variations:

• Include a layer of fruit preserves or curd alongside the ricotta filling for added flavor.
