5. 5

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.

   Ongeveer 10 min

   Tip van de kok: Resting the batter allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crepes.

6. 6

   While the batter rests, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, combine the farmer's cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: For a smoother filling, you can press the farmer's cheese through a sieve first.

7. 7

   Heat a non-stick frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: A well-seasoned cast iron pan also works great for crepes.

8. 8

   Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot pan, tilting the pan to swirl the batter evenly across the bottom to form a thin circle.

   Tip van de kok: The first crepe might not be perfect, consider it a test run for temperature and batter consistency.

9. 9

   Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the surface is set. Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side.

   Ongeveer 2 min
