directions
- Melt butter in top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling water. In a bowl, prepare the batter by mixing the flour, eggs, and egg yolks, milk, granulated sugar (1 tbsp), and pinch of salt. Blend well. Heat a 6 inch skillet or crepe pan and brush it with melted butter.
- Pour in about 3 tbsp of the batter and tilt the pan to spread batter over entire bottom. Cook on both sides. Stack crepes as they are cooked. Cover them with wax paper until they are to be filled. To make filling, cream the ricotta with the granulated sugar and vanilla. Add fresh, hulled strawberries and mix gently. Spoon some of the mixture down the center of each crepe and roll up the crepe. Sprinkle the rolled crepes with confectioner's sugar. Enjoy! Serves 6-8.

<p>I love Recipezaar! The recipes and people have helped me create dishes I would never have done by myself. I finally have gotten the knack of bread (which I love) because of this site. I am on the go workaholic who loves cooking and serving good fresh food to my family. Brought up with Italian food. Inspired by my grandmother who I should have paid more attention to while she was cooking and baking. Mother is a very good cook and a little sneaky. Liver, rabbit, duck, tripe, lamb and meat family would get on hunting trips was served often. Can't really do that with my family as they don't like these different dishes as I do and have protested. Family from Chieti & Naples Italy. My pet peeve is overcooking pasta. I like it al dente everytime and never add sugar to my tomato sauce. My motto is I would rather have a little of a good , natural thing than a lot of no-fat low-fat stuff.</p>
