About This Recipe

Crespelles are Italian crepes used in dishes such as manicotti, lasagna and other stuffed dishes in place of pasta. They have a lighter texture than pasta and taste delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups 1% milk
  • 2 large egg whites (or replace with 1 whole egg)
  • 1 large whole egg
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Put all the ingredients in the blender.
  2. To make crespelles, heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet with a 6-inch bottom on medium-low heat. Let it get hot.
  3. Lightly spray pan using olive oil spray and pour 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan, slowly swirling the batter around the pan to cover evenly. Cook about 30 seconds. (easiest way to do this is fill a 1/4-cup measuring cup 3/4 full.
  4. Flip and cook another 10 seconds.
  5. Remove and set aside on a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
