Crepes
It has taken me this long to finally make crepes as I was intimidated with the ultra-thin layers. Turns out that it is not as difficult as I thought. Unfortunately, it is hard to get ultra-thin layers when using low carb and gluten free flours. Crepe is an ultra-thin, delicate French pancake which typical consist of flour, eggs, milk, butter with a touch of sweetness only. No baking powder is used hence, the flat texture which can be folded or rolled around with sweet or savory fillings. In the video, I showed you how to make the crepe using almond flour and I also provided the option for using coconut flour. Both versions turned out quite similar except that you can taste the coconut flavor for the coconut flour version.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale.
2. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
3. Add all the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter is quite runny to enable the swirling of batter in the pan.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over low fire and brush with melted butter. In the video, I used a 10-inch pan and each crepe measured around 7 to 7 1/2-inch.
5. Lift up the pan and swirl the batter at the same time its added in. I used a 1/2 cup measuring cup for the batter which is just nice for my pan. You can adjust according to the size of your pan. Tilt the pan and swirl until the batter fills the whole pan. Then cook over medium heat for about 1 minute until the bottom of the crepe becomes golden brown. Then flip over and cook for about 30 seconds only over low heat. Transfer the crepe onto a plate.
6. Continue cooking the crepe until all the batter is used up.
7. It is best to enjoy the crepe when fresh. Cover them with cling wrap if you are planning to eat them later in the day.
8. These crepes can be folded or rolled up with sweet or savory fillings.
