Gluten Free Crepes

Gracie was over for the weekend, and to keep up a sister-tradition we had to make crepes. Just before we started, I searched through all my cookbooks only to discover that I didn't have one single crepe recipe. Thanks to the first search result in google, I found the best gluten free recipe for crepes that I've ever tried! The batter seemed really liquidy, but I forced myself to trust the recipe and it payed off, so don't worry about the liquidy batter.

Gluten Free Easy Crepes

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy; I've used rice and soy milk with equal success)
  • 1/3 cup (or 50g) cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons oil or melted butter

Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients with a whisk until well blended.
  2. Melt butter on pre-heated pan (oil works too)
  3. Pour just enough batter into pan to cover surface while swirling the pan.
  4. Continue to swirl the pan - off the heat! - until the batter begins to bubble and there is no long excess batter to swirl.
  5. Cook for 20-40 seconds (but the first crepe will take longer) or until steam is puffing out the sides
  6. Quickly and with care flip the crepe and cook an additional 15-20 seconds.
  7. Continue until all the batter is used, re-buttering/oiling the pan as needed.

Serve sweet or savory! The recipe is ideal for two people :)
