Time 12m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

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.

Conclusion:

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. So, gather your ingredients, heat up your pan, and embark on a culinary adventure with these delightful buckwheat crepes.
