Ingredients

1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
3 tablespoons buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

Whisk milk, eggs, and vegetable oil together in a bowl. Sift in all-purpose flour and buckwheat flour gradually, stirring constantly, until batter is quite runny.
Melt butter in an 8-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the skillet. Rotate the skillet until batter coats the bottom in a thin layer. Cook until the top of the crepe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen crepe; flip crepe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, whisking gently before using.

Time 45m

Yield 8 crepes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup rice flour (use a finely milled flour)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (can use other oil of choice)
1 1/4 cups soymilk (can use other milk if wished)
2 teaspoons arrowroot or 2 teaspoons tapioca starch
1 pinch salt
oil, for pan frying

Steps:

Place the buckwheat flour, rice flour, arrowroot/tapioca and a pinch of salt on a bowl. Make a 'well' in the centre of the flour.
Add the coconut oil and a little of the milk, beating well with a wooden spoon.
Gradually beat in the remaining milk, drawing the flour in from the sides to make a smooth batter.
Heat a little oil in an 18cm/7 inch non-stick frying pan. Pour in just enough batter to coat the base of the pan thinly. Swirl the pan to spread the mixture thinly across the base of the pan.
Cook until golden brown, flip and cook the other side.
Place cooked crepes onto a plate and using baking paper between cooked crepes to stop them from sticking together.

Tips:

Ensure The Right Consistency: To achieve the ideal consistency for your batter, aim for a smooth, pourable mixture that resembles heavy cream. If it appears too thick, gradually incorporate additional plant-based milk until you reach the desired texture.
Master The Swirling Technique: When pouring the batter into the pan, start from the center and work your way outwards in a circular motion, tilting the pan slightly to evenly distribute the mixture. This technique helps create those classic thin and delicate crepes.
Low And Slow Cooking: Cook your crepes over medium-low heat to prevent burning. Patience is key here, as cooking them too quickly can result in unevenly cooked or burnt crepes.
Flip With Confidence: Once the edges of your crepe start to curl and the bottom appears golden brown, it's time to flip. Use a thin spatula to gently loosen the edges and then flip the crepe in one swift motion. Practice makes perfect!
Keep Your Crepes Warm: To maintain the warmth and freshness of your crepes while you cook the rest of the batch, place them on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil. This will prevent them from drying out and becoming brittle.
Experiment With Toppings: The beauty of buckwheat crepes lies in their versatility. Get creative with your fillings and toppings! Try savory options like sautéed vegetables, tofu scramble, or vegan cheese. For a sweet treat, consider fruit compote, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

With a little practice, you'll be whipping up delicious and nutritious buckwheat crepes like a pro. These vegan and gluten-free crepes offer a satisfying and versatile meal option that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
