Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters Low-fat milk
• 3 large Egg whites
• 125 milliliters Sparkling water
• 1 pinch Salt
• 200 grams Low-fat cottage cheese
• 100 grams Semi-skimmed ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Sugar or low-calorie sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 as needed Cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, low-fat milk, egg whites, sparkling water, and a pinch of salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 3

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, spreading it thinly to form a crepe. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.

Step 4

Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-spraying the pan as needed.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, prepare the filling by combining the low-fat cottage cheese, semi-skimmed ricotta, vanilla extract, sugar or sweetener, and lemon zest. Mix well until the filling is creamy.

Step 6

Place a dollop of the cheese filling onto the center of each crepe, spreading it evenly. Roll the crepes tightly to enclose the filling.

Step 7

Optional: If desired, lightly dust the rolled crepes with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Turos Palacsinta warm as a delicious, low-fat dessert or breakfast.
