Supplies

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp of cooking oil (5g)
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1 Tbsp of sugar (14g)
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk, whole, 2%, skim, almond, etc. (355ml)
  • 1 cup of gluten-free flour mix (148g)
  • 1/4 tsp of salt (1g)

Tools/Equipment:

  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Blender, optional
  • Sifter/sieve, optional
  • Non-stick skillet or crepe pan
  • Turner

Step 1: Mix That Crepe Batter

In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Then mix in the milk and sugar.

Next whisk in the 1-to-1 Gluten-Free flour and salt.

Alternatively, just throw all of the ingredients in a blender and blend for 15 to 20 seconds.

And just like that the batter is ready.

Step 2: Cook Those Crepes

Add a bit of butter or oil to a nonstick skillet and set the burner to medium heat. (350F/176C)

Once the pan heats up lift the pan off the burner and pour about 1/3rd cup of batter into the pan, then tilt and rotate the pan so the batter fills the whole bottom of the pan.

Set the pan back on the burner and cook the crepe for 20 to 30 seconds until the top looks a little dry and there will probably be a few bubbles.

Use your turner to go under the crepe and then flip it. The second side takes less time about 15 to 20 seconds. Remove the crepe with the turner and add to a plate.

TIP: To help get the turner underneath the crepe you can lift up the crepe a little with the turner then gently grab the crepe edge with your fingers and pull it up a little bit so you can slide the turner underneath. It is easy to see in the video.

NOTE: If you use a large skillet you will probably need a bit more batter to cover the whole bottom of the pan.

Now just cook up the rest of the crepes.

This recipe makes 8 to 10 medium crepes.

Step 3: Serve

You can use any of your favorite crepe fillings and toppings, things like fresh fruit, powdered sugar, syrup, fruit sauce, whipped cream, Nutella, etc.

One of my favorite simple filling and topping choices is to just sprinkle on some fresh lemon juice and then do a light dusting of powdered sugar.

You can roll the crepe up or fold it into quarters.

Enjoy!
