Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Additional Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp sugar or pure maple syrup optional
  • ¾ cup milk or non-dairy milk of choice
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients for the crepe batter to a high speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  • Transfer the crepe batter to an airtight container or a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the batter for at least 20 minutes, ideally several hours (up to 24 hours). This may seem like a trivial step but letting the batter rest ensures you end up with the best crepes with perfect texture as it allows the air bubbles to dissipate.
  • When you're ready to make crepes, bring the batter out of the refrigerator 15 minutes early if possible to bring it to room temperature.
  • Add a pat of butter to the hot skillet and swirl it around. You want the butter to sizzle and bubble but not burn - this is how you know you’re cooking at a good temperature for crepes. 
  • Measure out about 4 tablespoons of batter (I use a ⅓ measuring cup and then I don’t fill it all the way up with batter) and pour it onto the center of an 8-inch skillet (use more batter if using a larger skillet).
  • As soon as the batter hits the skillet, it should make a slight sizzle sound - this is how you know you’re at the right temperature. Immediately swirl the batter in the skillet using a big circular motion with your wrist, creating a larger circle than the one you poured. This ensures you get a nice thin crepe that cooks evenly.
  • Cook the first side for two to 3 minutes, or until the sides appear to have set up and are very lightly golden brown. Use a rubber spatula or a flexible spatula to gently flip the crepe.
  • Continue cooking on the second side for another 1-2 minutes or so before transferring to a plate.
  • Repeat the process for the remaining batter. Crepes are best when served immediately, but you can stack them on a plate with wax paper between to keep them from sticking together.
  • Spread your favorite fillings over the crepes and either roll them or fold them into triangles.
  • Both sweet and savory fillings or toppings work with these crepes! Serve and enjoy!
