Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar optional, for sweet crepes
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for the pan

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • 8-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan
  • spatula
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, sugar (if using), and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Whisk gently, slowly incorporating the flour from the edges.
  3. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and thin. Stir in the melted butter.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to hydrate.
  5. Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
  8. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes with parchment paper between them if not serving immediately.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite fillings.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a dry skillet or microwave. For longer storage, freeze stacked crepes between parchment paper in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Serving tip: Fill with fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, or savory options like ham and cheese.
