Ingredients:

1/2 cup walnuts
120g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 tsp sugar
10g
3 eggs
150g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 cup ricotta cheese
230g
1/3 cup honey
80g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Walnuts:
- Place the walnuts in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Make sure they resemble a coarse flour.
2. Make the Crepe Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground walnuts, all-purpose flour, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until well combined.
- Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
3. Rest the Batter:
- Let the crepe batter rest for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to fully absorb the liquid and the gluten to relax, giving you tender crepes.
4. Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush with a little of the remaining olive oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1 minute.
- Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes with a piece of parchment paper between each to prevent sticking.
5. Prepare the Honeyed Ricotta:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and honey. Mix until smooth and well blended.
6. Assemble the Crepes:
- Spread a generous spoonful of the honeyed ricotta mixture onto each crepe.
- Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle, or roll them up if preferred.
7. Serve:
- Serve the walnut crepes warm or at room temperature. Optionally, drizzle with additional honey or sprinkle with some crushed walnuts for garnish.

Tips:

- Toast the walnuts gently before using them to enhance their flavor and give the crepes a deeper, nuttier taste.

- To avoid lumps, gradually mix the flour into the wet mixture when making the crepe batter.

- Let the crepe batter rest for at least 15-30 minutes before cooking to ensure a smoother texture.

- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan to make flipping the crepes easier and to prevent them from sticking.

- Serve the crepes warm with a light drizzle of extra honey and a few crushed walnuts on top for an added touch of flair and texture.

Walnut crepes with honeyed ricotta are a decadent yet easy-to-make dish that can elevate any meal. With their rich flavors and delightful textures, these crepes are sure to become a favorite. Don't hesitate to experiment with different toppings or fillings to make this recipe truly your own.
