Wholesome Buckwheat Crepes image

These gluten-free, lactose-free crepes are not only made 100% with buckwheat, but they use wholesome raw buckwheat groats instead of buckwheat flour, which often has a very strong flavor when not fresh. Soaking the groats before using them develops a lovely texture and a delicious, soft nutty taste. After blending you end up with a smooth batter. These crepes do not crisp up and become golden but they are very pliable and go great with maple syrup, berries, jam, and mashed bananas as filling.

Time 4h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅔ cup raw buckwheat groats
1 ⅓ cups water, to cover
1 egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine buckwheat groats with about 1 1/3 cup water in a bowl; allow to soak, draining and rinsing once or twice during soaking, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Rinse and drain groats one final time. Transfer drained groats to a blender with egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and 1/2 cup water; blend into a smooth batter. Blend more water into the mixture as needed to reach a smooth, spreadable texture.
  • Lightly grease a skillet and place over medium heat.
  • Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the skillet; lift and tilt the skillet to swirl the batter evenly over the skillet; return to heat.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes. Gently flip the crepe and cook the other side until the crepe is firm in the middle, about 2 minutes more; flip again and cook about 12 seconds. Plate and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crepes turned out rubbery. I think I might have overcooked them. However, the flavor was still good. I served them with a chocolate sauce and they were still edible.

These crepes were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred a thinner crepe. However, the flavor was excellent. I served them with a fruit compote and they were still very enjoyable.

I had a bit of trouble getting the crepes to flip without breaking. I think I might have needed to cook them on a lower heat setting. However, the crepes that did turn out were delicious. I served them with a fruit compote and they were a big hit wit

These crepes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory filling, such as cheese or vegetables. However, the texture of the crepes was excellent - they were light and tender, and they held up well to the filling.
