- or for a breakfast crepe can do eggs sautéed with greens
- options are limitless!
Instructions
For the crepe
-
Combine all ingredients in a nutribullet type blender or other blender and stir slightly to moisten the dry ingredients. Blend thoroughly into a thin, smooth batter. Refrigerate the batter to chill for about 2 hours. Crepe batter will keep covered in the fridge for about a week.
-
Lightly oil a skillet or crêpe pan, whisk the batter, if it is too thick add water. It should be about the consistency of heavy cream. Pour 1⁄4 cup of the batter in a circular pattern. Tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly into a sheer round, about 10 inches in diameter.
-
Griddle over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes or until the edges curl up a bit, the top is set (dry), and the bottom is lightly golden-browned. Flip and cook the other sided if possible for about 30 seconds. Allow to cool slightly to make it easier for the crepe to slide out of the pan.
-
Re-blend the batter briefly before pouring each crêpe.
Be patient! It took me a few wasted crepes to figure out how to get them to set and then how to get them out of the pan. Each time will get easier.
Prepare you filling of choice, pour down center of crepe, fold over sides and enjoy on a bed of greens with a drizzle of thick aged balsamic vinegar.
I have been experimenting with different recipes that use this Himalayan super nutrition buckwheat flour. It is high in nutrients, enhances immune performance, helps fight oxidative stress, and supports a healthy gut and microbiome.
