Gluten Free Crepes
Gluten free crepes made from a blend of brown and white rice flours, potato and tapioca starches produce thin, tender crepes suitable for various fillings. Resting the batter hydrates the flours, improving texture. Cooking on a lightly oiled skillet yields golden crepes with delicate edges, ready to be filled with sweet or savory ingredients.
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.
