Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 3 tablespoons Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 8 ounces Smoked salmon (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Capers (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for cooking crepes)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until you have a smooth crepe batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 3

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped dill, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the crepe.

Step 6

Place a few slices of smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese layer and sprinkle with capers if desired.

Step 7

Carefully roll the crepe tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled crepe into 1-inch sections to create bite-sized pinwheels. Arrange the salmon and cream cheese crepe appetizers on a platter for serving.
