As my youngest has recently been diagnosed with coeliacs/celiacs I am back to experimenting with gluten free baking again.
We had these crepes, spread with a little softened salted butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. Brilliant for breakfast, dessert or as we had them for an afternoon tea treat.
Makes 24. If freezing, seperate each crepe with a piece of baking parchment so you can just peal off what you need.
Ingredients
225g buckwheat flour
50g caster sugar
4 eggs
400mls milk
150mls water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
30g butter, melted
softened salted butter and maple syrup to serve
Method
Put your crepe pan on to heat over a medium to low heat.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Make a well in the centre.
In a jug, whisk the egg, milk, water and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the melted butter.
Take your whisk and as you pour the liquid into the dry ingredients slowly draw the flour in from the sides to avoid lumps.
Pour just enough batter into the hot pan to allow you to swirl it round and cover the base of your pan.
Cook until the top looks dry and the edges are beginning to colour.
Flip over and cook the other side for a few seconds, just to colour it up a little.
Tip the crepe onto a plate, cover with a clean, dry tea towel and continue making the rest of the crepes.
Amazing. Celiac is unfortunate, but your child is lucky to have such a creative mom. 🙂 Nicely done.
Thanks so much Gouchis Girl! 🙂 Ros
Reblogged this on Recipe Dreams.
Awesome! I recently bought some buckwheat flour and hadn’t got around to thinking what to do with it yet. I love the French buckwheat galettes and this sounds like just the ticket.
Thanks Fmmcadam, I love the flavour that buckwheat adds. 🙂 Ros
