In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter for the first crepe.
Pour a small ladleful (about 1/4 cup) of batter into the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
To prepare the filling, mix the farmer's cheese (or ricotta), sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place a crepe on a flat surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese filling onto one end of the crepe, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
Grease a baking dish with butter and arrange the filled crepes seam-side down in the dish.
Brush the tops of the crepes with a little melted butter (optional) and cover the dish with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
Serve warm with additional sour cream or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness, if desired.
