Gluten Free Crepes
Description
This Gluten Free Crepes recipe combines several gluten-free flours and starches to mimic traditional crepe batter's smooth texture and pliability. Eggs, milk, melted butter, and optional vanilla and sugar for sweet versions are whisked in with the dry ingredients to form a runny batter. Allowing the batter to rest in the fridge hydrates the starches, which aids in making the crepes flexible and less prone to tearing.
Cooking small portions of batter in a lightly oiled 10-inch skillet over medium heat produces thin, golden crepes with gently crisped edges. They are flipped and cooked briefly on the other side to finish. These crepes serve as a versatile base to be filled immediately with any desired sweet or savory ingredients.
Adjusting milk quantity can thin the batter more if needed based on testing one crepe for desired thinness. Serving suggestions vary depending on choice of fillings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup white rice flour
- 2 tablespoons potato starch
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup milk can substitute non-dairy alternative of choice, whole milk recommended
- 2 tablespoons butter dairy-free: use oil, melted or oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (omit if using savory fillings)
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar (omit if using savory fillings)
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients and whisk to combine until fairly smooth. Add a little more milk if it's too thick (you can test one crepe to determine if you want to add more milk to make a thinner crepe). Cover and let the batter rest in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- Heat a 10-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and spray lightly with a bit of oil. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan and tip the pan in a circular motion to spread out the batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then flip over and cook another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining crepes, stacking them on top of each other on a plate.Serve immediately with your choice of filling. See serving suggestions in blog post.
