Buckwheat Crêpes 

Buckwheat flour is naturally gluten-free and gives crêpes a deliciously nutty flavour. Here’s a delicious gluten-free, dairy-free French crêpe recipe using buckwheat flour:

Yields: ~6-8 crêpes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, oat, or coconut milk)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (use coconut oil or ghee if needed)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional for sweet crêpes)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or raw honey (optional for sweet crêpes)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together buckwheat flour and salt.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, then add non-dairy milk and melted butter.
3. Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
4. Rest the Batter: Let it sit for 10-15 minutes (optional but improves texture).
5. Cook the Crêpes:
   • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil.
   • Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread thinly.
   • Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
6. Serve & Enjoy: Fill with your favourite toppings—sweet (jam, fruit, chocolate) or savoury (avocado, smoked salmon, hummus).
