● ½ cup buckwheat flour

● ¼ cup tapioca starch

● 2 tsp baking powder aluminium free

● 1 egg

2. Crack egg into centre of the well and then add vanilla extract.

3. Gradually start pouring milk into the centre of the well while whisking to combine at the same time.

Almond Flour Crepes

Servings: 15 crepes

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free.*

Equipment

● Mixing Bowl

● Whisk

● Measuring cups and spoons

● Frypan

● Butter Knife

Ingredients

● 1 cup buckwheat flour

● 1 cup almond flour or blanched almond meal

● ¼ cup tapioca starch

● 2 tsp baking powder

● 3 eggs

● 2 ¼ cups soy milk or other plant based milk

Method

1. Sieve buckwheat flour, tapioca starch and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.

2. Add almond flour or blanched almond meal and whisk to combine.

3. Use a spoon to form a well in the dry ingredients.

4. To the centre of the well crack in 3 eggs.

5. Use a whisk to gently whisk the eggs to break up the yolks, without incorporating the flour.

6. Slowly add the milk while whisking and gradually incorporating flour. Once the mixture is just combined, stop whisking and set aside.

7. Place a medium sized non-stick frypan onto the stove top and bring to a medium heat. Grease with butter or olive oil.

8. Once the pan is hot pour in about ¼ cup of the mixture. Immediately swirl the pan around in a circular fashion so that the mixture spreads out into a thin round crepe.

9. Once bubbles start to form, use the back of a butter knife to very carefully peel the sides of the crepe away from the pan. Gently lift up a side to see if the crepe is cooked underneath – once the bottom side is golden brown, use the butter knife to flip the crepe over.

10. After one – two minutes, check the second side and if it is golden brown then slide the crepe onto a dinner plate. Top with a clean tea towel to keep warm while frying remaining crepes by repeating these steps.

11. Serve crepes warm with toppings of choice.
