Marquesitas

Step by stepInstructions

1. Whisk the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, melted butter and vanilla into a smooth, thin crepe batter; rest for 15 minutes.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat and brush it with butter.
3. Pour in a small ladle of batter and tilt the pan so it coats the surface in a paper-thin layer.
4. Cook until the edges turn golden and lacy, then sprinkle a handful of cheese and a spoonful of cajeta over half the crepe.
5. While still hot, fold and roll the crepe into a tight cylinder with a spatula, then press it flat and roll it over the heat until it is crackly and crisp.
6. Dust with sugar if you like, and eat immediately — marquesitas are made to order and die the moment they cool.
