How to Make Gluten Free Crepes

Ingredients:

1 cup Bob’s Red Mill gluten free 1 to 1 flour blend
⅛ tsp salt
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tbsp oil or melted butter
1 tbsp sugar (optional for sweet crepes)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for sweet crepes)

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and eggs.
Slowly add in the milk while whisking. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
If you prefer sweet crepes, add the sugar and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Let the batter rest for 30 minutes or even overnight in the refrigerator for the best texture.
Heat a 10-inch pan or crepe pan over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, take a ¼ measuring cup and scoop out some batter. Pour the batter into the center of the pan and gently tilt the pan in a half-circle to spread the batter evenly.
Cook for 1-3 minutes until the top looks set and the bottom is lightly browned.
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 10-30 seconds to brown the other side.
Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat this process until you use all the batter.
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of toppings or fillings. Leftover crepes can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.

How to Serve Gluten Free Crepes

You can serve Gluten Free Crepes in many ways. Fill them with fresh fruits, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or your favorite jam for a sweet treat. For savory options, try filling them with sautéed vegetables, cheese, and cooked meats. The options are endless!

How to Store Gluten Free Crepes

To store, simply stack the leftover crepes and place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Place parchment paper between each crepe before putting them in a freezer-safe bag. This way, they won’t stick together, and you can easily grab one when you want.

Tips to Make Gluten Free Crepes

Make sure to let the batter rest. This helps create a more tender crepe.
If the batter seems too thick, you can add a bit more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Use a non-stick pan for the best results, as it helps prevent sticking and makes flipping easier.

Variation

You can make these crepes even more interesting by adding herbs or spices to the batter. For example, adding a pinch of cinnamon can give sweet crepes a warm flavor, while herbs like thyme or basil can enhance savory ones.
