Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 ounce coconut flour ¼ cup, but please measure by weight
  • Cooking oil for pan I use avocado oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Break the eggs into a medium bowl and lightly beat them.
  2. Add the milk and whisk to incorporate.
  3. Add the coconut flour and whisk patiently until very smooth. This will take a few minutes.
  4. Allow the batter to thicken for 1-2 minutes, then whisk again.
  5. Heat a small, 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray it with cooking spray.
  6. Pour a scant ⅓ cup of the batter into the skillet. Swirl to spread. Cook until the top is bubbly and the bottom is set, 2-3 minutes.
  7. Using a wide spatula or two regular spatulas, carefully flip the crepe. It's not as sturdy as a wheat flour crepe, so please work carefully.
  8. Cook the second side briefly - it will be done in 30 seconds to 1 minute - and then slide the cooked crepe onto a plate.
  9. Spray the skillet again and continue cooking crepes until all the batter is gone. Pile the cooked crepes on a plate and cover them loosely with foil to keep them warm.
  10. Fill the crepes with your choice of filling, or simply sprinkle them with sugar or powdered sugar (or a low-carb alternative) and serve.

Notes

  • If you object to using whole milk in keto recipes, use heavy cream or canned coconut milk. 
  • If you know you'll use these crepes with a sweet filling, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you plan on savory only, you can add ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Otherwise, leave them plain and neutral.
  • For the best results, measure the coconut flour by weight, not by volume.
  • Unlike many other coconut flour goodies, these do not taste eggy. They are very similar to traditional crepes, but they are more fragile, more difficult to flip, and tear more easily, so you should be extra careful when flipping them.
  • The leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. I gently fold them in half and place them in an airtight container, with layers of paper towels between them to absorb extra moisture. You can reheat them in the microwave.
  • You can also freeze these crepes. Fold them in half and arrange them in a single layer on wax-paper-lined platters, not touching. Place the platters in the freezer. Once the crepes are frozen, you can stack them in freezer bags, separating them with wax paper. Thaw them overnight in the fridge.
