  • Let the dough cool and start making the crepe batter. Mix the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, mix with a fork, and gradually pour in the warm milk. Then, stirring constantly with a whisk, pour in the boiling water. Strain the mixture through a sieve. Mix in the vegetable oil (I use rapeseed oil) and honey. The batter should rest for half an hour.

  • Grease the pan with vegetable oil and bake the crepes on both sides. It is not necessary to grease the pan each time. I did it once. From the given amount of ingredients, you will get 14 crepes.

  • Prepare the cream: mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, yogurt, and whipped cream. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Place the cake layer on a plate and spread the cream over it. Leave some of the cream to decorate the cake.
  • Spread the cream on each crepe. Then fold the crepe in half.
