Buckwheat Crêpes

written by Nives

Nothing says ≈weekend≈ like homemade crêpes for breakfast or brunch if you prefer to sleep in like I do. Take this super easy and versatile recipe in a sweet or savoury direction, depending on what you fancy. Also, scroll to the end for a vegan version!

It’s probably good that I didn’t count how many times I’ve made these in the past month, because the number would be way over what’s considered normal. But if you follow me on Snapchat – you already know (sorry, and you can come over for some any time!). They are just TOO GOOD. I’ve been making the vegan ones for a few weeks, and then came up with this other version because couldn’t find apple purée anywhere. Also I really love eggs, and a month and a half without them was enough for me to give myself a break and have some with these.

+ a new set of choones is waiting for you to give it a listen at the end 😀

Method:

  1. Whisk together the milk and an egg.
  2. Add the buckwheat flour with a pinch of salt, and whisk until fully combined.
  3. You can make them immediately, but I recommend letting the the batter sit for at least 30 minutes, but before cooking the crêpes be sure to fully whisk the batter!
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat, pour the batter in, and tilt the pan in a circular motion so the batter coats the surface evenly.
  5. Cook until it starts becoming crisp on the edges, and is a lovely golden colour underneath, then using a palette knife or spatula, turn the crêpe over and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds.
  6. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Fill with your favorite filling and serve immediately.
Dobar tek! : )
