A crepe is a classic French dish made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk. Crepes are similar to pancakes, but they are not. Technically, a crepe is a pancake that's been thinned out using a cast-iron griddle and is either stuffed or folded and topped with savory or sweet fillings. CrĂȘpes are easy to make with basic ingredients These basic FrenchcrĂȘpes start with a cup of gluten-free flour and a touch of xanthan gum.
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup gluten-free flour
2 tbs. extra light olive oil
1 tbs. sugar
1/4 tsp. Cape Crystal konjac powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
STEP 1: Combine ingredients in a bowl and whisk for 60 seconds or until the mixture is smooth. Place the batter in the refrigerator for one hour to chill.
STEP 2: Remove batter from the refrigerator and check for consistency (should be that of heavy cream). Add up to two tablespoons of water if needed.
STEP 3: Grease a crepe pan or fry pan. Place pan on medium heat. Once the pan is fully heated, remove it from the heat. Drop 3-4 tablespoons of batter in the center of the pan and swirl it around to cover the surface.
STEP 4: Cook on one side until it forms small bubbles, about a minute.
STEP 5: Using a spatula, flip it over until it turns a golden brown, about 30 seconds. This takes a bit of practice, so donât be discouraged.
STEP 6: Carefully slide the finished crepe on a plate. Crepes can be filled with fruits and jams and then rolled or folded to serve.
